We are building a sustainable future for Contour Biennale, a project that is currently growing thanks to the energy of artists, visitors, partners and volunteers.

Contour Biennale 11 is supported by the Flemish Community and the City of Mechelen.

As the Biennale’s committed main partner and venue, Kunsthal Mechelen plays a central role in the project, while the newly opened contemporary art space TACK TICK launched by TICK TACK (Antwerp) will host part of the exhibition. Contour Biennale, Kunsthal Mechelen and TACK TICK join forces in creating a stage for artistic experimentation and public engagement in the city. The other Partners Venues are: dmvA Architects, Emmaüs vzw and Stiltetuin.

Contour Biennale 11 received generous support from international partners: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation – Delegation in France; Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian; Ágora – Cultura e Desporto do Porto; the Embassy of Portugal in Belgium; Galeria Francisco Fino; the Embassy of Spain in Belgium; Institut Ramon Llull; Generalitat de Catalunya; Acción Cultural Española (AC/E); the Etxepare Basque Institute; Catapulta – A launchpad for contemporary Spanish art; the Mondriaan Fund; the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; the Institut français as part of EXTRA; the Embassy of France in Belgium; Alliance Française Bruxelles-Europe; République et canton de Genève; and SAHA. Contour Biennale is also a member of the International Biennial Association.
