Though there are more than 150 art biennials in the world we need another one.

Currently, an increasing number of art professionals are looking beyond the frameworks of classical institutional approach. 

Worldwide Apartment and Studio Biennale is a new formation, whose mission is to create an opportunity of innovative union and mobilise self-organizing in the arts on a global scale. 

Artist’s studios and apartment galleries as alternative exhibition spaces have rarely been included in popular art history. It is time to change it.

If you want to be a part of this global collaboration, join us!



During the 1st WASBiennale, a number of exhibitions and various art events will take place in artist studios, apartment galleries and even private spaces all over the world over the world at the same time.


The headline of the first edition of WASBiennale: “BE MY GUEST” is bringing the idea of transforming boundaries, showing a decreasing approach of white-cube-based art space and inviting viewers to take a step into the intimate artist’s zone.
Letting anyone in the artist’s studio, as well as inviting someone in your private space is a gesture of high confidence. Showing art in such format, involving the audience in direct dialogue, helping to reduce a gap and provide a new scale of artist / viewer communication.
The overall Biennale topic BE MY GUEST is beyond artistic representation, based on the current socio-political situation in Europe and World.


1st WASBiennale will not just disclose undercurrents of contemporary art history to a general public, but foremost to create an opportunity to build parallels with the most recent developments in contemporary art, where again artists and curators are compelled to find alternative ways. And it’s probably the time to build up next level: a critique of an institutional critique.


Worldwide Apartment and Studio Biennale will unite art professionals around the world by providing a solid platform and concept for DIY exhibition practice. Operating by the rules of traditional art biennials, we are starting first Biennale without limits, where anyone can apply.
