Latest Events in Venice(May Updated)

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.

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.

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.
