Overview

• The exhibition, Marina Abramović: Transforming Energy, runs May 6–October 19, 2026, alongside the 61st Venice Biennale.
• Reports identify Abramović as the first living woman artist to receive a major solo presentation at the Accademia.
• The program spans permanent and temporary galleries, combining landmark performances with new works created for the venue.
• Interactive Transitory Objects—stone beds and crystal-embedded structures—invite visitor participation focused on what the artist calls energy transmission.
• Highlighted works include Rhythm 0 and Imponderabilia, with Pietà (with Ulay) shown next to Titian’s final Pietà during its 450th year; the show is curated by MAM Shanghai’s Shai Baitel in collaboration with the artist as she approaches her 80th birthday.
