The 2026 Venice Biennale has unveiled the artist list and framework for its international exhibition, "In Minor Keys." The project, which was the final vision of the late curator Koyo Kouoh, is being realized by a collaborative team following her death last year. The exhibition aims to explore themes of minor histories and global narratives through a diverse roster of international artists.
This announcement is a pivotal moment for the art world as it sets the stage for the most prestigious recurring event in contemporary art. Simultaneously, London's cultural landscape is highlighted by the opening of a posthumous Beatriz González retrospective at the Barbican and a major Tracey Emin exhibition at Tate Modern, featuring a significant embroidered work that has remained hidden from public view for over two decades.
