From June 6 to July 27, 2025, the third edition of the Biennale für Freiburg will take place in the Kunstverein Freiburg, the Museum für Neue Kunst, the Schauinslandbahn and other indoor and outdoor spaces. The Biennale explores the symbolism of Freiburg as the “South of Germany” and questions the economics of wanderlust and the semiotics of the picturesque. The intention is to explore the political and social implications of the touristic ritual through artistic interventions. The focus is on an examination of the realities that prevail in a place whose perception is shaped by its tourist appeal and codified in stereotypical images.

The Biennale für Freiburg 3 is looking for a full-time intern (40h/week) for 6 months starting in March, who would like to gain experience in the organization and realization of a biennial and artistic events.
The internship covers the preparation, construction, duration and follow-up of the exhibition and the supporting program.

The internship is remunerated with EUR/CHR 500 per month.
Submission deadline: February 03, 2025

We reserve the right to conduct initial interviews before the end of the application period.
