La Biennale di Venezia launches Rivista issue 3/2026 'Pandemonium' at Villa d'Este

publication · 2026-08-31

On September 29, 2026, at 6:30 PM, Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Rome, will host the launch of the third 2026 edition of La Biennale di Venezia's quarterly publication, Rivista, which is titled Pandemonium. The evening will feature a discussion with Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Debora Rossi, and Alberto Samonà, with introductions by Davide Bertolini. Attendance is free but requires an online reservation due to limited seating. This edition, the eighth since the magazine's revival in October 2024 after a 53-year hiatus, delves into the theme of parody in a time when tragedy is on hold and language has lost its significance. It includes contributions from various artists and thinkers, along with a cover inspired by François Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451. The magazine can be found online and in prominent bookstores.
