Rhineland-Palatinate Triennial 2026
Norina Quinte devises and curates the first statewide art triennial in Rhineland-Palatinate, as part of a curatorial duo.
Background
For the first time, Rhineland-Palatinate gains a statewide format for contemporary art that opens up exhibition spaces in new ways and brings them into dialogue with history.
Brief and approach
Working in a curatorial duo with Carolin Heel, Norina Quinte (ato) devised the triennial and shaped its curatorial direction. From more than 500 submissions, the curatorial team selected 53 artistic positions together with an expert jury. At its heart are new presentation formats and narrative approaches that challenge conventional exhibition practice.
Outcome
The premiere runs from 24 April to 31 May 2026 in Trier, with venues including the Kunsthalle Trier, the Tuchfabrik TUFA, off-spaces and the public realm.
