Marina Abramovic Transforming Energy at Accademia Guided Tour
Discover Transforming Energy, the landmark exhibition by world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović, presented during the Venice Biennale 2026 at the Accademia Gallery. In this guided tour led by a licensed expert, explore how Abramović’s groundbreaking performances—such as Rhythm 0, Imponderabilia, and Balkan Baroque—enter into dialogue with the masterpieces of the Venetian Renaissance. The exhibition celebrates Abramović’s 80th birthday and marks the first time a living female artist is honored with a major show at the Accademia. Through video, installations, and interactive “Transitory Objects,” visitors experience art as energy, presence, and transformation. A highlight of the exhibition is the powerful encounter between Abramović’s Pietà (with Ulay) and Titian’s Pietà, bridging five centuries of artistic reflection on the human body, suffering, and spiritual transcendence. With expert guidance, gain deeper insight into one of the most important exhibitions in Venice.

Where this sits in Venice
Venice is about 11 min by road from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Extraordinary and genuinely crowded, and the two are easy to reconcile: stay the night. The day trippers leave around six, and the city that is left — quiet canals, lit windows, footsteps — is the one worth coming for.
