Die Skulpturen-Triennale Bingen 2026 unter dem Titel VERBINDUNG UND ZUSAMMENHALT wird am Samstag, 16. Mai um 11 Uhr offiziell eröffnet.
Erneut versammelt die Ausstellung entlang des Binger Rheinufers und in den zwei Kirchen der Stadt – Basilika St. Martin und Kapuzinerkirche St. Laurentius – zwanzig künstlerische Positionen aus dem In- und Ausland.
Die ausgewählten Künstlerinnen und Künstler thematisieren Aspekte wie Einheit, Zugehörigkeit, Vermischungen, Gemeinsamkeiten und Erinnerungen. Dabei entstehen Verknüpfungen und Netzwerke, die entweder durch die verwendeten Materialien unmittelbar sichtbar werden oder auf gedanklicher Ebene komplexe Strukturen aufweisen.
Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der regionalen Ausrichtung der Triennale in Form des neu etablierten Förderprogramms und den Kooperationen mit der Kunsthochschule Mainz und Artist Residency Schloss Balmoral, Bad Ems.
Das partizipatorische Projekt „mein kann dein sein“ der Klasse Maximiliane Baumgartner, Kunsthochschule Mainz, präsentiert sich am Eröffnungstag mit ihrer ersten Tauschaktion „Wir tauschen etwas, was wir verloren haben, gegen etwas, das du gefunden hast.“
Um 12.30Uhr sind alle Besucher*innen eingeladen, sich an diesem experimentellem Projekt, bei dem mit Materiellem – Bilder, Objekte – als auch Immateriellem – Wissen, Erinnungen, Geschichten – der Menschen eine Art „Geschichtsarchiv“ aufgebaut werden soll, teilzunehmen.

With a month to go until the 2026 edition of IMEX Frankfurt, international demand from both exhibitors and buyers continues to build and is tracking strongly against the same period last year.
The substantial momentum for the show, taking place May 19-21, is a welcome indication of the sector’s resilience in a wider business landscape currently defined by rapid shifts and unpredictability. Hosted buyer registrations are currently ahead of last year, and exhibitors from a wide range of global markets have confirmed their participation, with many expanding their presence.
Worldwide buyer demand
The show’s set to welcome 3,500 hosted buyers, with total buyer numbers expected to reach over 4,000 from 60+ countries when it opens in May.
Alongside a strong buyer presence from across Europe, North and South America, buyers from the Middle East, Africa and Asia will all be strongly represented.
Global exhibitor momentum
The global range of exhibitors confirmed and representing 100+ countries is a further sign of the sector’s strength and commitment to driving forward business.
Africa will have one of its largest-ever representations at the show, with new exhibitors Mozambique and Angola; Egypt doubling its footprint; and Tunisia and Uganda both returning.
Japan is also set for one of its largest-ever participations, with Kyoto doubling the size of its booth. Malaysia is expanding its presence, and both China and Hong Kong are returning to the show floor.
Multiple Middle Eastern destinations are confirmed, demonstrating their determination and resilience, including Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Oman, Qatar and Ras Al-Khaimah.
Also exhibiting are North and South America, with Brand USA returning and California taking its own booth for the first time. South America’s footprint is increasing with Uruguay welcoming twice as many partners and Mexico doubling its space.
In terms of European representation, Austria, Denmark, Istanbul and Sarajevo are among those increasing in size. There are 150 exhibiting companies from Germany, including host city Frankfurt that has this year been named World Design Capital.
“With worldwide suppliers turning out in force and international buyer registration numbers tracking ahead of previous years, current demand for the show sends a clear signal: our industry is defined by collective determination, solid business momentum and a sense of unity.
“Despite the global disruption that’s impacting many, global pressures haven’t dented appetite for our community to come together and advance the conversations that matter, using IMEX as a springboard for both short and long-term business and relationship building,” says IMEX CEO Carina Bauer.

„Metropolregion FrankfurtRheinMain baut!“ ist der wichtigste wohnungswirtschaftliche Kongress in Hessen. Er bietet eine Plattform für alle am Wohnungsbau beteiligten Unternehmen und Kommunen. Die Veranstalter wollen, dass mehr, schneller, effizienter und kostengünstiger gebaut wird. Dazu dient der Austausch von Erfahrungen bei Vorträgen und Diskussionen.
Ein Jahr nach der Bundestagswahl rückt der Wohnungsbau erneut in den Fokus. Welche Ergebnisse hat die Bundesregierung bislang geliefert? Greifen die angekündigten Maßnahmen oder bleiben sie hinter den Erwartungen zurück? Welche Impulse braucht die Branche jetzt wirklich? Und wo kann sie selbst ansetzen, um Tempo zu machen? Natürlich stehen auch Themen wie Finanzierung, Deregulierung und Klimaschutz weiterhin im Zentrum.
Montag, 01. Juni 2026, 8:00–16:00 Uhr
Deutschland und Frankreich als vielbeschworenes Tandem haben wesentlich dazu beigetragen, aus Europa eine soziale, demokratische und wohlhabende Macht zu formen. Doch dieses Modell gerät angesichts knapper Budgets, des demographischen und ökologischen Wandels und den geopolitischen Verschiebungen zunehmend unter Druck. Reicht es, den Status-quo zu verteidigen oder gibt es gemeinsame Gestaltungsideen für ein sozialeres Europa? Wo lohnt es sich, Perspektiven zu bündeln? Es diskutieren Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestags mit Abgeordneten der französischen Assemblée nationale und des Senats.
