\n\tA career-spanning exhibition at the Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia<\/a> during the Venice Biennale is not a bad way to celebrate an 80th birthday. Come May of next year, this is how Marina Abramovi\u0107<\/a>, perhaps the most well-known performance artist, will ring in her eighth decade.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show \u201cMarina Abramovi\u0107: Transforming Energy\u201d will be on view at the Accademia from May 6\u2013October 19, 2026. It coincides with the 61st edition of the Venice Biennale, which opens May 9.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTransforming Energy\u201d previously appeared at the Modern Art Museum in Shanghai in fall 2024. That show featured 150 artworks, many of which are furniture\/sculpture hybrids featuring materials like quartz, amethyst, and tourmaline.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbramovi\u0107 reportedly first visited the Venice Biennale with her mother, traveling from her native Serbia to the Italian city in 1960. \u201c[Venice] was so incredibly beautiful\u2014unlike anything I had ever seen,\u201d Abramovi\u0107 told Artnet<\/a>. \u201cSince then, returning to Venice has become a tradition, and after receiving the Golden Lion in 1997, the city has always held a special place in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the Accademia, Abramovi\u0107\u2019s \u201ctransitory objects\u201d (a phrase the artist prefers over sculpture, \u201cbecause the\u00a0object\u00a0is not the point; the\u00a0energy\u00a0is,\u201d as she explained to Art in America<\/a> last year) will be installed throughout the 14th-century building among the museum\u2019s permanent collection. The Accademia has hosted contemporary exhibitions before\u2014most recently Anish Kapoor\u2019s in 2022\u2014but this is the first time a contemporary artist\u2019s work will be in dialogue with the Accademia\u2019s trove of Renaissance paintings by artists like Titian, Tintoretto, Giorgione, and Mantegna.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most dramatic pairing will be Abramovi\u0107\u2019s 1983 photograph Piet\u00e0 (with Ulay), in which she cradles her former partner and collaborator\u2019s body across her lap while wearing a red strapless dress shown alongside Titian\u2019s last painting, Piet\u00e0 (1575\u201376).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A career-spanning exhibition at the Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia during the Venice Biennale is not a bad way to celebrate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[365,362,363,364,366,18,117,58514,19,17,58515],"class_list":{"0":"post-89651","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-gallerie-dellu2019accademia","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-marina-abramoviu0107"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
