The story

Herzliya Biennial in Herzliya

A contemporary art biennial held in Herzliya across three editions between 2007 and 2011, founded by curator Joshua Simon and centered on the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art plus unconventional sites across the city. Framed initially around the aftermath of the 2006 Lebanon War, it featured artists including Guy Ben-Ner, Sigalit Landau and Mika Rottenberg, but no editions have been documented since 2011.

The Herzliya Biennial of Contemporary Art opened its first edition on September 23, 2007, under the curatorship of Joshua Simon, then 28 years old and, at the time, the youngest curator to lead an Israeli biennial.
