The World’s First Solar Biennale and Energy Show Exhibition Opens in Rotterdam on September 9

Together with The Energy Show, the world’s first Solar Biennale explores the use of solar energy through art, design, and dialogue. The initiative by the solar designers Marjan van Aubel and Pauline van Dongen brings alongside designers, scientists, the solar industry, and policymakers. Besides professionals, residents, consumers, and solar enthusiasts are welcome to formulate answers and exchange ideas on the sun and where it touches upon our personal, social, virtual, and spatial future.

The Solar Biennale message is clear: “To make the most of the sun’s power, we need to move beyond technocratic thinking.” For seven weeks, the Solar Biennale will open a discussion on new relationships between people and their environment, gather diverse disciplines and viewpoints, and promote sharing knowledge amongst professionals working with solar energy. The agenda includes an international seminar on solar design, a projects exhibition that includes work by Alice Wong, Agnieszka Polska, and a built-up project by Marjan van Aubel Studio.
