The 21st edition of the large summer exhibition will feature paintings, photographs, sculptures and installations by more than 200 artists from all over the world. Each artwork stands for itself and at the same time in dialogue with the others.

This year's Focus Country is on France with its own pavilion under the patronage of the Ambassador of France in Germany, Anne-Marie Descôtes. In collaboration with curators Jérôme Cotinet-Alphaize and Marianne Derrien, the country pavilion titled "Some of Us – an overview on the French Art Scene" is dedicated to French female artists born between the late 1960s and early 1990s who have made a name for themselves in our neighbouring country and beyond in recent years. The exhibition aims to investigate the development across two generations of women, illuminating commonalities and examining what is typically French or perhaps Western. "Some of Us" is an exhibition in two parts: "Focus" is based on a selection of emerging artists with recent recognition in France. As a complement to this focus, the second exhibition "Statement" offers a panorama of more than a hundred female artists.
