From May 16 to October 4, 2026, the 7th Sculpture Triennale in Bingen am Rhein will take place under the title CONNECTION AND SOLIDARITY . As in previous editions of the Triennale, around 20 artistic positions will be displayed along the banks of the Rhine and at selected locations in the city center of Bingen, including three site-specific works from the newly established funding program of the Triennale.
In a time of great political and social upheaval, where much is drifting apart, it is connection and solidarity that strengthen community. The 7th Sculpture Triennale in Bingen is dedicated to this theme and presents artists who address current questions of support and social strength in their work. The sculptures on display reflect, on either a conceptual or material level, what holds people, materials, or ideas together. In addition to classical sculptures, performative and participatory works will be shown that connect places and bring people together.
With this thematic focus, the curators Sara Bernshausen and Lutz Driever aim not only to stimulate artistic reflection on togetherness. By involving people, clubs, initiatives, or institutions on site, old networks are to be strengthened and new ones established, which will remain effective even beyond the Triennale.
The upcoming edition of the Triennale CONNECTION AND SOLIDARITY also marks the start of a new funding program: Thanks to a private estate donation, the foundation will enable three artists to realize new works for the exhibition in Bingen starting in 2026 – as well as in 2029.
The selected artists for 2026 all come from the Rhine-Main region. In addition to Max Brück, BA Sela and Emilia Neumann have been named.
