About the Drawing Triennial

The drawing triennial

From 2002 to 2023, Tegnerforbundet has organized Tegnebiennalen/Tegnetriennalen (The Drawing Biennial/The Drawing Triennial), an arena for displaying and disseminating contemporary drawing art at an international level. The first biennials were mainly based on the free submission of works/projects that explore, problematize and treat drawing as a concept and genre.

‍

In 2016, the Drawing Biennial was transformed into a Drawing Triennial. The total of ten biennials and triennials produced by Tegnerforbundet have had different organizational forms and venues. While the artistic management of the first biennials was closely linked to the Drawing Association's board and organization, it has gradually become customary to bring in outside forces. This has strengthened the biennial's ability to have a changing perspective on drawing.

‍

The last Tegnetriennalen was held from October 12 to December 22, 2023 at Tegnerforbundet, the National Museum, Deichman Bjørvika and Tenthaus.
