Sky Arte's Artbox Returns with Marina Abramović Exhibition in Venice
The TV program Artbox on Sky Arte returns with its 28th episode on June 2, 2026, focusing on Marina Abramović's exhibition 'Marina Abramović: Transforming Energy' at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice. This is the first exhibition the institution has dedicated to a living woman artist. Abramović, who won the Golden Lion at the 1997 Venice Biennale for 'Balkan Baroque,' invites viewers to experience art through their bodies. The episode also features Maria Vittoria Baravelli's segment on Italian identity, inspired by the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic, and a visit to Fidenza Village, where Richard Orlinski's 'Wild Kong' gorilla sculpture is displayed. Additionally, Adachiara Zevi presents her book 'Artisti e Architetti alla prova dello spazio' in the 'Arte e vita in libreria' segment.
