5) 발생배경
1981년에 시작된 베니스 비엔날레 아페르토전의 중단을 계기로 비엔날레 틀 안에서 젊은 미술을 위치짓기 어렵다는 문제점 조정, 베를린에 새로운 비엔날레를 만들어야 한다는
필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 이 후 그 대체 프로젝트의 하나인 베를린 클럽을 지원하기 위해 미술애호가들과 갤러리 운영자, 예술가들이 함께 베니스를 방문했다. 이 프로젝트는 비디오, 슬라이드상영, 음악, 퍼포먼스, “nettime" 주제하의 토론 등 연속 72시간에 걸친 일정으로 Teatro Malibran에서 베를린 현대예술센터 (Kunst-Werke Berlin)의 주관으로 진행되었는데, 베니스의 젊은 작가들뿐만 아니라 대중들에게도 큰 호응을 얻었다. 그 후 베를린에 돌아와 베를린의 순수미술을 위한 보다 강력한 틀의 필요성이 제기되었고, Staatiche Kunsthalle가 폐쇄된 후, 비밀스럽게 베를린 젊은 작가들을 위한 현대미술전이 준비되었다.
이를 한시적이 아닌 정기적 전시로서 1996년 3월 26일 컬렉터들과 미술 애호가들은 베를린 비엔날레의 발족을 현실화했고 초대 예술 감독으로 Nancy Spector와
Hans Ulrich Obrist를 지명하였다.

Exhibition
The exhibition Of Mice and Men unravels as a novel, a story involving different characters and individualities, dissecting their private destinies and universal fears.
In order to capture and amplify these tensions, the curators of the 4th berlin biennial have selected an array of unusual venues and exhibition sites, all concentrated along one street, Auguststrasse in the Mitte district, in the heart of Berlin.
Choosing one street as both an example and an archetype, Of Mice and Men leads its viewers across a variety of environments and experiences, opening doors onto forgotten buildings and hidden sites, dispersing art in the spaces where we usually work, eat, pray and play. The artists in “Of Mice and Men” were asked to intervene or present their works in places that represent the every day that is our common ground: private apartments, offices, schools, galleries, trailers, and former factories.
For the show, the curators aspire to put together a story that follows different plotlines and open-ended narrative passages. Not a theme show nor an exhibition with a thesis, "Of Mice and Men" poses questions about birth and loss, death and surrender, grief and nostalgia.
Taking its title from a poem by 18th century Scottish writer Robert Burns – who also inspired John Steinbeck’s 1937 novel of the same name – Of Mice and Men stages a theater of the absurd, in which animals, humans and ghosts all play their tragic parts. But it is also a day in life of the inhabitants of a street and a stroll along the spaces that punctuate our existence.
The exhibition, Of Mice and Men will include more than 60 artists spanning four generations and working in a variety of media and techniques from etching to woodcut, animation to still photography, role-playing to team building. Unlike the prevailing biennial tendency to debut the latest talents and movements, this show draws connections across time and throughout the past and present, rather than just concentration on the fleeting trend or tastes. And the context within the heart of the city of Berlin brings with it the undeniable weight of countless histories and manifestations, triumphs and failures.
Berlin has a long tradition of co-opting and transforming existing buildings and structures into venues for temporary art shows. Every day in Berlin an artist turns his or her apartment into a gallery or opens an independent exhibition space. Learning from this experience, the curators recognize the specificity of Berlin’s art scene and the vast quantities of unoccupied space. That space is both a blessing and a curse: it offers up exciting and fresh venues for presenting art, however it also symbolizes the failures and consequences of the city’s powerful and persistent memory and history.
The berlin biennial is the only biennial in the world that changes locations and venues according to the exigencies of the exhibition. Of Mice And Men will thus become a strange carnival or street fair, following a jagged descent into the spirals of time.
