is participating in the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia ().⁠
⁠
Yanko presents β€œThe bond between matter and heaven,” a monumental work of compressed and painted metal, alongside a three-sculpture presentation in Biennale Arte 2026.⁠
⁠
Yanko shares: β€œThese sculptures were created to sing. While the exhibition unfolds β€˜in a minor key,’ I felt compelled to offer something that rises, something that reaches upward from within shadow. Venice, and the Arsenale in particular, carries a density and darkness that felt essential to respond to with uplift, breath, and resonance.”⁠

Winston will present a series of freestanding sculptures that continue his natural progression of sport as a medium. The freestanding works are built upon foundations of rubber tires, water coolers, baseball bases and cement, a nod to both the Motor City and to childhood memories of playing sports in the yard. Skewers emerge out of portals and treasure boxes of yesteryear.⁠

PequeΓ±o’s practice engages themes of displacement, migration, and cultural inheritance, reflecting the complexities of Mestizo and Mexican American identity. ⁠
⁠
The work featured draws on a spectrum of cultural signifiers related to transportation and migration, β€œwhere motion is not only physical but psychological and generational.”

Winston’s β€˜Sheepskins’ reference Christopher Wool’s iconic text paintings of the late 1980s, engaging standardized letters as both visual and semantic elements. Winston treats text as formal shapes in their own right, balancing communicative clarity with graphic composition and underscoring the interplay between language and visual form.⁠
