Faena Art congratulates Marinella Senatore, Edouard Duval-Carrié, Alfredo Jaar, Marina Abramović, and Studio Drift on their presentations and exhibitions taking place during the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia and its wider cultural programming across Venice.
Marinella Senatore presents We Rise by Lifting Others, a project rooted in collaboration and collective participation developed through workshops centered on writing, storytelling, and movement. These exchanges take form through a monumental luminaria and a series of tapestries that weave together voices, images, and shared experiences. Senatore previously collaborated with Faena Art on The School of Narrative Dance Miami Beach, presented as part of Tide by Side, where performance, procession, and collective action activated public space through the participation of Miami-based communities.
Edouard Duval-Carrié’s participation in the 2026 Venice Biennale marks an important recognition of his ongoing engagement with Caribbean histories, mythologies, migration, and identity. Through richly layered paintings, sculptures, and installations, the artist bridges historical narrative and contemporary experience. Duval-Carrié previously collaborated with Faena Art and No Vacancy, bringing his singular perspective into dialogue with Miami’s cultural landscape and communities.
Alfredo Jaar participates in the Biennale Arte 2026 central exhibition In Minor Keys, continuing his decades-long investigation into political consciousness, visibility, and the ethics of representation. Jaar has collaborated with Faena Art at the first edition the Faena Festival: This Is Not America.
Marina Abramović presents Transforming Energy at Venice’s Galleria dell’Accademia, a major exhibition bringing together historical works, performances, and documentation that trace her pioneering exploration of endurance, presence, and transformation. Abramović’s collaborations with Faena Art have contributed to ongoing dialogues around performance, ritual, and the relationship between body, mind, and soul.
Studio Drift also joins this year’s Venice programming with immersive installations that explore the relationship between technology, ecology, and human emotion through kinetic sculpture, light, and movement. Their work with Faena Art in Miami similarly invited audiences into poetic and experiential environments that blur the boundaries between nature, innovation, and collective wonder.
