New Developments with BIO 23
Preparations are under way for a fresh and exciting Biennial. With the aim of further modernising and internationalising the event, the Museum of Architecture and Design has invited the well-known curators and design promoters Margo Konings and Margriet Vollenberg of the studio Organisation in Design to collaborate with it on this year’s Biennial. Thus, in its 48th year, the Biennial exhibition has received a thematic concept and title and has expanded its scope to include all areas of design.

With BIO 23, the name of the event has changed as well: the Biennial of Industrial Design has become the Biennial of Design. Today it is clear more than ever that it is impossible to set limits on design; the different fields of design are overlapping, while one of the strengths of design is its ability to make connections and supplement its work both within the profession and with fields outside of it. The notion that design is one of the most responsive disciplines to social and cultural change has also informed the new developments in the content and organisation of Ljubljana’s Biennial of Design.
