More exciting moments ahead this 2026 ✨
So so SO over the moon to be part of
@gasfoundation presentation at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (
@labiennale ), by Koyo Kouoh. In Minor Keys.
“Our inclusion reflects the Foundation’s commitment to dialogue, care, and exchange across local and international contexts. Kouoh’s invitation recognises the residency as a practice in its own right: a site of research, sustained engagement, and shared inquiry.”
The artwork presented In Minor Keys is led by Ann Marie Peña (
@ms.a.m.pena ), with support from Yinka Shonibare CBE (
@yinkashonibarestudio ), Belinda Holden (
@belholden ) and Moni Aisida (
@solamoni ). Project managed by Samantha Russell (
@fiberlegacy ), with architectural installation design by MOE+ Art Architecture (
@moeaa.feed ).
