With You, With Everything: Italy Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2026

With You, With Everything is the project representing the Italy Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Cecilia Canziani and realized by artist Chiara Camoni, the installation is conceived for the Tese at the Arsenale and prioritizes collective participation, accessibility and relational practices.

The Pavilion is presented as an "horizontal organizational chart": rather than a monumental solo show, it offers an inclusive space of proximity and shared practice, where artistic, curatorial and community activities converge. The exhibition unfolds in two complementary movements, designed as an emotional sequence.

Exhibition layout

The Tese are arranged into two main sections:

• First nave: a forest of life-sized sculptures modeled with the coil technique. These figures create an intimate, tactile encounter with visitors.
• Second nave: a horizontally oriented, work-in-progress world populated by reclining figures, objects and remnants that evoke the artist’s studio and convivial creation.

Light modulation plays a structural role in the experience, guiding visitors from shadowed, dreamlike spaces to areas of full illumination, and supporting a sensitive reading of materiality and form.

Dialogues, performances and new commissions

The Dialogues section stages interactions between Camoni’s work and historical and contemporary pieces by other artists, and includes newly commissioned projects for the Pavilion. Highlights include:

• a choreographic performance exploring the nexus between dance and voice;
• a bespoke audiovisual work that interweaves sculptural visages with cinematic portraits;
• installations and artifacts that connect memory, material and everyday practices.

Public program and partnerships

The exhibition features a public program curated by Angelika Burtscher and Daniele Lupo (Lungomare), organized around thematic gatherings that address the wild, the dreamlike, diverse forms of intelligence, and vocal and collective storytelling.

• 26–28 June: The wild, the dreamlike and the catastrophic
• 25–26 September: The different forms of intelligence
• 29–31 October: Vocal practices and collective narratives

The Pavilion works with Italian and Venetian cultural institutions—art academies, research centres and local organisations—to sustain ongoing collaborations. An accessibility initiative with the Ciao! project of the Amplifon Foundation enables remote visits for elderly residents in care facilities, broadening participation beyond physical attendance.

Why see it

With You, With Everything offers a museum experience rooted in care, proximity and relationality: a Pavilion that encourages visitors to pause, listen and engage. The installation foregrounds material presence, the memory of forms and collaborative creation, presenting sculpture and exhibition space through a contemporary, sensitive lens.
