Latest Events in Venice(March Updated)

The Venetian restaurant model that hosts works by local artists belongs to a longstanding tradition of practices with roots going back to the immediate postwar period in the lagoon. During this time, a network of taverns, trattorias, and restaurants across the city began to serve not only as places for nourishment but also as hubs for exchange, encounters, and cultural debate for the local and international artistic community.

A permanent exhibition dedicated to the great master Igor Mitoraj, whose bronzes and marbles enrich the halls of our headquarters in Venice. His art is distinguished by the use of fragmented human figures - serene faces, mutilated bodies - that evoke the fragility of the human condition, the passing of time and the wounds of history. Deeply inspired by Greek-Roman sculpture, Mitoraj interprets myth and antiquity with a contemporary vision, creating works charged with melancholic beauty and mystery. His sculptures fill squares and museums around the world, offering the public a silent dialogue between past and present.

Maria Abramović will present a career-spanning exhibition at the Gallerie dell’Accademia during the 2026 Venice Biennale, commemorating what would have been her 80th birthday.

Renowned Chinese artist Wallace Chan will present a landmark bi-city exhibition, "Vessels of Other Worlds," in Venice and Shanghai in 2026. Coinciding with Chan's 70th birthday, the exhibition, his most ambitious work to date, will be held concurrently at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Misericórdia in Venice and the Long Museum (West Bund) in Shanghai. The exhibition, showcasing a series of monumental new titanium sculptures, comprehensively expands the spatial dimensions and conceptual boundaries of Chan's artistic practice.

With the full support of the family of the late curator Koyo Kouoh, the Venice Biennale organizing committee has decided that the 61st edition of the International Art Exhibition will continue to use Kouoh's pre-existing concept, "In Minor Keys," to preserve and disseminate her ideas and work. The exhibition will remain strictly faithful to Kouoh's definition and will be presented from May 9 to November 22, 2026, at the Giardini, the Arsenale, and various locations in Venice. The preview will be held from May 6 to 8.
