Vasyl Cherepanyn Titled 14th Berlin Biennale 'Central Europe Eastern Time'

Vasyl Cherepanyn, a curator from Ukraine, has titled his edition of the Berlin Biennale "Central Europe Eastern Time," with the fourteenth event set to commence in June 2027. The exhibition will take place at various locations, including the KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. Cherepanyn envisions the exhibition as a fresh interpretation of Berlin from an Eastern viewpoint, highlighting experiences and regions often overlooked in the European narrative. He describes the title as both a navigational aid and an orientation tool. Cherepanyn aims to broaden the spatial and temporal dimensions already present in the biennale's title, connecting the city to a larger Eastern European landscape. Originally from Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, he currently resides in Berlin and is a co-founder of the Visual Culture Research Center (VCRC), which organizes the Kyiv Biennial, as well as a founding member of the East Europe Biennial Alliance.
