Austrian pavilion artist Florentina Holzinger joins Thaddaeus Ropac

Choreographer Florentina Holzinger, known for her extreme and provocative performances, has joined the roster of the Thaddaeus Ropac gallery. This move coincides with her preparation to represent Austria at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026 with a site-specific performance project titled SEAWORLD VENICE.

This gallery representation signals a significant crossover from the theater and performance world into the commercial visual art market. Holzinger's work, which critically examines genre conventions and audience engagement, will now be presented as collectible objects within a gallery context, challenging traditional boundaries between performing and visual arts while amplifying her platform ahead of a major international exhibition.
