"Resonance" by Vanderbilt University from May 8th to July 10th 2026, Venice Fondazione Giorgio e Armanda Marchesani

Georges Adéagbo contributed a detail of his 48th Biennale award-winning installation "Venise d'hier, Venise d'aujourd'hui" 1999 to "Resonance" initiated by Maria Magdalen Campos-Pons and Kamaal Malak, curated by Grace Aneiza and Selene Wendt. Part of the Vanderbilt "Engine for Art, Democracy & Justice" program. From the Press-Release: "María Magdalena Campos-Pons and Kamaal Malak — responding to the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, In Minor Keys, by Koyo Kouoh — offer Resonance as an expansion of their Biennale participation. Presented through Vanderbilt University’s Engine for Art, Democracy & Justice (EADJ),it takes place within a Venetian palazzetto where ideas, artistic practice, anddialogue unfold over a season of exhibitions and performances, sonic sessionsand poetic encounters, conversations and gatherings — each one another way of listening. This is an invitation to gather; to commune with; and for deep listening — to artists, curators, poets, performers, and scholars whose voices and perspectives resonate across time and geographies. It is a bridge between Nashville and Venice, between local practice and global encounters. Our home for this gathering is the historic residence Fondazione Giorgio e Armanda Marchesani on Fondamenta Rossa in Dorsoduro. The palazzetto, imagined as an instrument, is transformed into a space of conviviality, carrying plural resonances through an artistic program that weaves itself into Venice’s daily life." Adéagbo's contribution was made possible by Gallery Mennour-Paris.
