Prague Biennale
The Prague Biennale is an international art exhibition in Prague, Czech Republic, held in alternate (odd-numbered) years. It was founded in 2003 by Helena Kontova and Giancarlo Politi. It is supported by the Czech Minister of Culture and the City of Prague. The New York Times said of it in 2009: "Now in its fourth iteration, the biennial has a reputation for working on the cheap (the lighting is minimal to nonexistent, meaning viewings have to end by sundown) and for offering the first appearance of emerging artists from Central and Eastern Europe."{{cite news|url=http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/travel/19cultured.html?pagewanted=3|title=In Prague, Art is Everywhere but Not Always Easy...|date=19 July 2009|work=The New York Times|accessdate=20 January 2013 | first=Evan | last=Rail}}
