They are in Venice again, but this time with a premiere: For the first time, Les Innombrables adopted a non-performance. In a public statement, the Swiss art collective expressed their gratitude to the Seaworld Venice team that according to the information sign in front of the closed pavilion “consists of individuals of more than 17 different nationalities”. “This non-performance is exactly what we were looking for throughout our whole career. Now we've finally found a suitable work we can adopt”, said their speaker. They didn't want to further comment as they were too busy sipping their Spritz. Who would blame them?
Les Innombrables are known since the 1990s for “seizing” or “found” realities/performances/installations in art-fair contexts, like their past works at Frieze LA 2019, Art Basel Miami, Venice Biennale, etc..
Les Innombrables: Austrian Seaworld Pavili-Non / Austrian Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Giardini, Venice (Italy), May 8, 2026.
