5th Moscow Biennial

More Light

5th Moscow Biennale, Menage, Moscow 

September 20 – October 20, 2013

Presented by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, Moscow Government, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Manege Museum and Exhibition Association, and Moscow Biennale Art Foundation.

The main project of the 5th Moscow Biennale, More Light, invited diverse interpretations through works by artists from around the world. The exhibition explored light not only as central to visual art but also as a force of connection and imagination in a time of ecological, social, and technological crises.

Artists addressed the pressures of accelerated life and corporate control of space, foregrounding practices that emphasize slowness, attention, and shared experience. More Light proposed art as generative energy—an antidote to division and alienation—revealing the potential of time, space, and consciousness to foster creativity, vitality, and collective reflection.
