Les Innombrables Stage Non-Performance at Austrian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2026
The Swiss art collective Les Innombrables, active since the 1990s, presented a non-performance at the Austrian Pavilion during the 61st Venice Biennale on May 8, 2026. This marked their first adoption of a non-performance, which they described as a long-sought artistic form. In a statement, they thanked the Seaworld Venice team, which according to a sign comprises individuals of 17 nationalities. The collective is known for seizing found realities and performances in art-fair contexts, with past works at Frieze LA 2019, Art Basel Miami, and previous Venice Biennales. Their speaker declined further comment, citing a busy schedule sipping Spritz.
