Sponsored by Beijing Cultural Investment Development Group Co., LTD., and organized by Beijing Chengqian Culture Property Investment Co., LTD. and Mu Mu (Beijing) Art Advisory LLC., 2022 Beijing Biennial will be held in Beijing from December 30th, 2022, to March 12th, 2023.

2022 Beijing Biennial, themed "Symbiosis”, aims to reflect on how human civilization and natural ecology should coexist, and how digital technology and creative design can intermix and develop. The Biennial hopes to present typical art topics and samples in Beijing, the national cultural center, and enrich the connotation of "Symbiosis” in the dimensions of space and time: "Symbiosis” of space showing the prosperity of the synchronic development of diversified art ecology in Beijing, and "Symbiosis” of time interpreting the diachronic development and prospect of Beijing#s art ecology from the past, the present to the future.

Beijing, with its broad, open, and inclusive spirit, has formed a traditional and diversified artistic temperament of "harmony in diversity.” All kinds of art forms, including painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, music, drama and film, join in building a thriving art ecology in this city, interacting with one another and driving each other forward. Therefore, the Biennial invites active curators and scholars in various art fields: Fang Fang, Hang Kan, Iris Long, Ma Yansong, Boliang Shen and Zhu Zhu will explain "Symbiosis” through seven exhibition units, respectively.

2022 Beijing Biennial has one main venue: National Base for International Cultural Trade(Beijing) and two sub-venues: Friendship Art Community (Originally Beijing Friendship Store) and M WOODS Hutong. In which “Awaken the Life Inside the Stone”, “The Infinite Conversation” and “Beijing Romance: Visible Memories and Imaginations” (part 1) will open on Decmeber 30th, 2022 at National Base for International Cultural Trade (Beijing); “Beijing Romance: Visible Memories and Imaginations” (part 2), “Magic Square: Art and Literature in Mirror Image”, “Earth Heat Flow: The Visitor Who Returns to Solar Time” and “Brave and Bright” will open on December 31st, 2022 at Friendship Art Community (Originally Beijing Friendship Store); “Blueprint Beijing” will open on January 13th, 2023 at M WOODS Art Community.
