On 6 May, a preview of the 2026 Urban Art Biennale took place at the V\u00f6lklinger H\u00fctte \u2014 the exhibition runs until 15 November. Not everything had been installed yet, but the scale of what was already on display was impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following two biennales that had extended far into the urban space of V\u00f6lklingen, the focus in 2026 is once again more strongly on the steelworks itself. More works than ever before are being created in situ \u2014 designed specifically for their location, in dialogue with the architecture and history of the former ironworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the M\u00f6llerhalle, 55 artists from 17 countries come together in a dynamic dialogue between industrial architecture and contemporary art: the hall\u2019s rugged charm meets delicate installations and large-scale interventions that reinterpret the space and impressively highlight its unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
