8th "Socle du Monde" in Herning, Denmark
The 2020 edition of the Socle du Monde Biennial explores the artistic universe of Piero Manzoni where art and life melt. Therefore the 8th Biennale will draw a focus on the Italian Arte Povera group, challenging and discussing our concepts of art – all in the spirit of Manzoni. But the Biennale wants to start also a two-way street between the museum, as an institution where art is shown and preserved, and the city, and how art can function in a city and confront the place from which the impulses come: daily life.

Huis der Kunsten to open in Deventer, Holland
In the north-east of Holland, not far from the German border, the Europan Institute for Contemporary Art and Science (EICAS) will open the doors of an old school building, with a collection, temporary exhibitions and an archive. EICAS is a privately funded institute, but with a public mission. It does field research in archives, artist studio's, public and private collections and will produce exhibitions, organise symposia and publish reports. The institute will scan and push boundaries and evokes questions without answers but it has also the "archaeology's" ability to tell stories that reach beyond official or formal discourse.
