Jenia Granilshchikov — live from the studio

Fragments of time, memory, and unfinished narratives.
Working across video, sound, installation, and performance, Jenia Granilshchikov constructs visual sequences where meaning emerges gradually — through accumulation, disappearance, and repetition.

As part of Personal Structures 2026, his practice unfolds as a continuous process rather than a fixed image — streamed live from the studio into the spaces of Palazzo Bembo in Venice.

Visitors will be able to experience the residency in person, while online audiences can follow the artistic process in real time through the DOM Art Residence YouTube channel.

From trace to presence.
From studio to city.

As part of Personal Structures 2026, his studio becomes temporarily public — a space where process, rhythm, and thought unfold in real time.

Visitors in Venice will be able to experience the residency in person at Palazzo Bembo, while online audiences can follow the livestreams directly through the DOM Art Residence YouTube channel.

From the studio to the city.
From process to presence.

For DOM Art Residence, this exhibition marks an especially important moment.

This year, the project was selected to participate in Òrbita Convent 2026 — an annual exhibition program organized by Convent de Sant Agustí in Barcelona.

For an independent art residence based in Barcelona, this represents both a meaningful step forward and an important recognition of the work that has been developed over the past years.

Within the exhibition program, DOM presents Membranes — a dialogue between two German artists, Katrin Bittl and Reiner Heidorn.

The project explores the idea of the membrane as both a barrier and a point of encounter between the visible and the invisible, the external and the internal.

Through large-scale works, painting, video, and spatial interventions created specifically for the architecture of the former monastery, the exhibition invites viewers to move beyond surface perception and enter the hidden structures that shape living systems, bodies, memory, and human experience.

For Reiner Heidorn, this research unfolds through the microscopic worlds of plants and natural forms.
For Katrin Bittl, it emerges through the human body — where vulnerability, biography, physical reality, and inner strength become intertwined layers of one living system.

Personal Structures 2026 — Selected Artist
Samuel Ferreira

Samuel Ferreira is an artist whose practice unfolds through sculpture and installation, grounded in an exploration of death, memory, and faith as shifting systems of belief.

Working primarily with wax, he draws on the language of ex-votos — offerings that carry the weight of promise and devotion. Whole figures and fragmented body parts are subjected to heat, melting and reforming through fire.

These gestures function as intercessions: acts that dissolve, transform, and re-emerge, taking on new forms and, with them, new meanings.
His work approaches belief not as certainty, but as a fragile construct. Through the instability of material, Ferreira questions the conditions under which faith is formed, sustained, and undone. Within this, the idea of salvation is not fixed, but continuously negotiated — suspended between permanence and disappearance.

Drawing from recognisable, body-adjacent structures, his installations create an intimate field of encounter. Objects remain close to human scale, inviting proximity, and at times, the impulse to touch — positioning the viewer within a space where distance collapses into physical and emotional engagement.

His visual language operates between devotion and erosion, tracing the threshold where structure begins to yield, and where transformation becomes inevitable. Within this, the work holds a quiet tension: that what is offered in faith is never stable, but always in the process of becoming.

As part of Personal Structures 2026
(May 9 — November 22, Venice)
his work unfolds within the framework of Accepted Without Review — where process becomes visible, continuous, and unmediated.

We are happy to present our digital residency artist, Laolu NYC (), in collaboration with .

The project «Accept Without Review» takes place in a shipping container. The project’s concept is not simply about moving things, but also about the transference of ideas, identities, and cultural codes.

Laolu’s practice operates within similar logics. Working with visual language rooted in Yoruba culture, the artist does not simply transmit the heritage; he translates it into the contemporary art context.

Laolu’s practice is built upon the tension between decorative expressiveness and conceptual depth. The ornamentality of his artworks becomes the entry point, simultaneously complicating and delaying meaning. The aesthetic appeal here is not the endpoint of impression; it calls for attention and demands that the viewer look deeper into the meanings.

His importance in the contemporary art field strengthens this tension. Broad visibility and presence in pop culture clash with mechanisms of institutional validation. At this point, his practice appears to be in between different systems (artistic, commercial, and cultural), where Laolu NYC manages to maintain his autonomy.

The project «Accept Without Review» creates a space where such autonomy becomes possible. It doesn’t require the artist to adapt or simplify; it doesn’t dictate ways of interpretation and does not regulate the form of expression.

It is exactly in this context that Laolu’s presence in this project becomes crucial: his practice already exists outside of institutional expectations and does not require conformity to be read.

29/04/2026

Laolu NYC is a globally recognized artist whose multidisciplinary practice moves fluidly across visual art, music, and performance, with collaborations spanning Alicia Keyes, Bad Bunny, and Serena Williams and partnerships with brands Nike, Aveda x Charity Water, and Belvedere. Rooted in Yoruba philosophy, his signature “Sacred Art of the Ori” gained international visibility through Lemonade, Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning visual album, and his work has been featured in major publications including The New York Times, Vogue, CNN, and BBC. His presence signals a powerful and culturally resonant opening to the residency program.

Personal Structures 2026 — Selected Artist
Martyna Rzepecka .rzepecka

Martyna Rzepecka is a visual artist and printmaker whose practice unfolds through relief printing, tactile objects, and spatial installations. Rooted in traditional techniques, her work expands into an embodied process where making becomes inseparable from the body itself.

Her approach to figuration moves away from fixed identity, focusing instead on fragments — partial forms that resist definition. The body appears not as a whole, but as something continuously deconstructed and reconfigured, opening space for tension, ambiguity, and reinterpretation.

Working primarily with linocut, which she refers to as bodycuts, Rzepecka places the act of carving at the center of her practice. The matrix is not only a tool, but an autonomous work — a surface where gesture meets resistance, and where the artist’s body comes into direct contact with material.

Cutting becomes a form of meditation, a negotiation between control and matter.
Her recent work extends this inquiry into lived experience, engaging with female corporeality and the physical demands of both artistic practice and fencing. Within her Left Hand Exercises project, bodily limitation — recurring injury — becomes a point of departure, transforming constraint into a generative force.

Alongside finished works, she collects and exhibits the traces of process: imprints on skin, fragments of material, residues usually discarded. These elements are not secondary, but integral — expanding the work beyond its final form and making visible what is often unseen.

Through this, her practice opens a space where the boundary between body, process, and image dissolves — where touch becomes a way of entering the work, and where creation remains continuous, unstable, and in flux.

As part of Personal Structures 2026
(May 9 — November 22, Venice)
her work unfolds within the framework of Accepted Without Review —
where process becomes visible, continuous, and unmediated.
