Venice Program Overview
The Venice 2026 program brings together two distinct but resonant solo exhibitions. Maggie Hall's Love You to Death, installed at Palazzo Priuli Bon and Domus Civica, presents a body of work that appears seductively legible before revealing itself as painstakingly constructed through a disciplined CMYK process. Michael Corner's Cliché, installed at CREA in Giudecca, operates within the collapse of time, embedding historical citation within suspended compositions where meaning emerges through the act of looking. Each exhibition is accompanied by a commissioned critical essay and public conversation.

Maggie Hall's Love You to Death presents a body of work that appears, at first glance, seductively legible, with familiar iconographies drawn from the vernacular of mid-century America and rendered with a disarming softness. But look longer, and the surface begins to misbehave. What reads as effortless reveals itself as painstakingly constructed, even faintly obsessive. Each work is produced through Hall's rigorously disciplined CMYK process, allowing images to hover between clarity and dissolution.

Michael Corner's Cliché presents a new body of paintings that operate within the collapse of time. Drawing from emblematic works in Western art history, Corner constructs scenes in which historical quotation functions as structure and tension. Figures remain suspended, gestures unresolved, and meaning emerges through the act of looking.
