The Last Art-of-Peace Biennale was an exhibition held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Zugehend auf eine Biennale des Friedens (or Towards an Art-of-Peace Biennale) organised by René Block at the Kunstverein, Hamburg, Germany, in 1985. This live action curatorial research aimed to reflect on the enduring relevance of the themes of peace and harmony in 2015 and to understand the relationship between Robert Filliou’s concept of the ‘Art-of-Peace’ and René Block’s curatorial approach. The project contributes to both exhibition history scholarship and curatorial practice research. There were sixteen works by eight artists in the show. The broader achievement of the research was its dissemination of knowledge of the 1985 Hamburg show and Fillou’s work and practice through a high-profile London exhibition, which remains accessible through the gallery’s online catalogue of exhibitions.

The show was curated by Roddy Hunter.
