Luke Edward Hall | Kyriaki Goni
Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) 2026

The second edition of the Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) takes place on the island of Rhodes from June to October 2026 under the title “Where the Day Starts.” Participating artists include Luke Edward Hall and Kyriaki Goni.

Curators Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos, Loukia Thomopoulou and Anissa Touati note:
“We see the Biennale and the Island of Rhodes as a meeting point where the Mediterranean’s diverse histories, traditions and futures come together. Ceramic techniques have crossed shores for centuries, evolving through migration, trade, and dialogue. Today, artists reinterpret these age-old methods to address current questions and create new connections. We aim to highlight both the ancient bonds and contemporary narratives that shape the region, opening space for new perspectives on the Mediterranean’s future.”

The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) will bring together contemporary artists from the Mediterranean who either live in one of the countries of the basin or have a meaningful connection to the region. Dedicated to promoting contemporary ceramics as an evolving art form, the Biennale moves nomadically across Greek islands, drawing inspiration from each location’s distinct history, archaeology, mythology, and culture.
