Artribune Magazine Summer 2026 Issue: Biennale, GTA, and Grandi Mostre

Artribune has released its summer 2026 magazine (issue 53), featuring a cover by Pierluigi Scandiuzzi titled 'Art tribù'. The issue includes in-depth coverage of the Venice Biennale, with opinions on the main exhibition and national pavilions, plus an interview with the curatorial team working with Koyo Kouoh. A special feature examines how Grand Theft Auto V has influenced contemporary artists, ahead of GTA VI's November release. Travel itineraries highlight Toulouse and Flanders, while the 'Giro d'Italia' column visits Matera. Studio Visit profiles painter Roberto de Pinto, and Osservatorio Residenze interviews Francesca Ciampa of ExtrArtis residency in Sorrento. The magazine also recommends summer books and includes an original comic by Lise e Talami. The Grandi Mostre insert covers major exhibitions: Mariuccia Secol at Muzeum Susch in Switzerland, Jasper Johns at Guggenheim Bilbao, Lee Miller at Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, and Gothic Mediterranean dialogue at Museo del Prado in Madrid. In Italy, it features Ai Weiwei at MAXXI L'Aquila, Cao Fei and Hito Steyerl at Fondazione Prada in Milan, and Mark Rothko at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. Gallerist Angelo Enrico is interviewed in the 'Dietro le grandi mostre' column. The issue closes with opinions on exhibition roles, Italian museums' lack of internationality, contemporary art crises, mismanagement of Rome's historical sites, immersive art, overtourism, and cultural self-harm.
