The Artists Who Ruled the Biennial Circuit Over the Last Four Years

Artnet News critic Ben Davis analyzed 130 recurring global art events—including biennials and triennials—that opened between the 2022 and 2026 Venice Biennales, tallying over 15,000 participating artists. He identified the most frequently featured artists, with Nolan Oswald Dennis topping the list at 14 biennial appearances. Dennis, a South Africa-based artist born in Lusaka, is known for works like "Black Liberation Zodiac" (2017-ongoing) and was included in the 2026 Venice Biennale curated by the late Koyo Kouoh.

artist solange pessoa aspen art museum

Cultured magazine interviews Brazilian artist Solange Pessoa about her new exhibition "Catch the sun with your hand" at the Aspen Art Museum, on view through October 26. The conversation explores parallels between Aspen's mining history and her home region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, her use of organic materials like blood and hair, her stone collection, and the sense of incompleteness in her process-based work. The exhibition features carved soapstone sculptures on the museum's roof and works inside that engage with crystals and silver.
