I have taken the content of this post from,
http://www.bahighlife.com/Destinations/six-of-the-best-biennales.html?PageNumber=1

I thought this information will help many artists.

C P B Prasad, Artist, -Thanks.

MARRAKECH
29 February-4 March 2012
What Artists, film-makers, musicians and writers from across the globe descend upon the city for five days of performances, screenings and talks. Titled Surrender, the 2012 event will be held in venues including the Theatre Royal, ESAV Film School and Djemaa el-Fna square.
Don't miss The main arts exhibition, titled Higher Atlas, will be held at El Badi Palace. As well as suggesting 'a cartography of the beyond', the title also refers to the Atlas Mountains, which are visible from the 16th-century palace. Besides the biennale? The Koutoubia Mosque is a must-visit for its mighty 69m high minaret - a masterpiece of Islamic art. Access inside is denied to non-Muslims, but one of the doors on the east wall is always open and you can peek through. marrakechbiennale.org

BERLIN
27 April-1 July 2012
What Held in one of Europe's most vibrant cultural cities, the Berlin Biennale is all about experimental contemporary art, with forward-thinking exhibitions, sculptures, live
performances and installations.
Don't miss The details are being kept firmly under wraps, but we've been told that the 'experimental and context-specific exhibition' at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin's Mitte District is a must-see.
Besides the biennale? Nab a table at Grill Royal (grillroyal.com), an art-themed restaurant buzzing with local artists and collectors. It's renowned for its steaks, views of the Spree and witty art collection (look out for the papier mâché shark jaws en route to the ladies' room).

BUCHAREST
25 May-22 July 2012
What Every two years, a guest curator - next year it's Glasgow-born Anne Barlow - is selected to gather an array of artists, who collaborate to put on this fiercely ambitious festival of contemporary art. Incorporating film screenings and educational programmes, it avoids 'art spaces', and is instead held in universities and public sites across the city.
Don't miss The line-up has yet to be announced, but previous headliners have included Yoko Ono and Romania's own Lia Perjovschi. The venues are expected to include the National Geology Museum, Botanical Gardens, National Centre of Dance and Herăstrău Skate Park.
Besides the biennale? Head to the Velvet Underground, a club and wine bar inspired by the Pop Art concept (the owner is a fan of Andy Warhol) and filled with modern art. The music ranges from hip-hop and funk to golden oldies.

SYDNEY
27 June-16 September 2012
What It's one of the world's oldest biennales (dating from 1973). As well as a three-month exhibition, there are public tours, artist talks and film screenings, showcasing work from both Australian and international artists. Venues include the Art Gallery NSW, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Pier 2/3.
Don't miss A short ferry ride from the city, Cockatoo Island is a World Heritage-listed former prison and shipyard, and is the Biennale's largest exhibition venue.
Besides the biennale? Head to the funky ArtHouse Hotel (thearthousehotel.com.au) for a life-drawing class (Mondays at 6pm; bring your own materials). Afterwards, sip a cocktail in the Gallery Bar, with its moody lighting and ever-changing artworks. biennaleofsydney.com.au

SAO PAULO
September-December 2012
What Founded in 1951, the Bienal de São Paulo is the second oldest art biennale in the world (after Venice) and is held in the striking Ciccillo Matarazzo pavilion in the Parque do Ibirapuera.
Don't miss Luis Pérez-Oramas - curator of Latin American art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - has been selected as chief curator, so we're expecting an impressive line-up.
Besides the biennale? Treat yourself to a slap-up supper at the Canvas Restaurant at the Hilton São Paulo Morumbi, an award-winning restaurant themed like an artist's studio with a suspended art gallery above the tables.

KOCHI AND MUZIRIS, INDIA
November 2012
What Sixty-five artists from 45 countries will be represented at India's inaugural festival of international contemporary visual arts - the largest public art event in the country.
Don't miss The contemporary art on show at Durbar Hall, the original royal courthouse of the Maharaja of Kochi in Kerala. It's currently undergoing painstaking, top-to-toe renovations.
Besides the biennale? Refuel on tea and cake in the tranquil courtyard of the Kashi Art Café (kashiartgallery.com), an institution in Fort Kochi that doubles as an art gallery displaying the work of local artists.
