SEAWORLD VENICE will unfold beyond the Giardini della Biennale across the city through performances titled Études – a body of work she has developed since 2020, consisting of choreographic exercises and performative actions staged in public spaces.
According to Frederic Chopin, ‘an Étude is a musical composition of considerable difficulty, designed to provide practice material for an instrument and its player’. Yet, they are designed to ‘always please the audience in concert’. Holzinger’s site-specific performances become compositions between bodies, sound and architecture.
The SEAWORLD VENICE Études are commissioned by lead partners: the Bukhman Foundation, Hartwig Art Foundation, and Thaddaeus Ropac gallery.
CLOSING ÉTUDE

The Closing Étude will mark the finale of SEAWORLD VENICE, Florentina Holzinger’s contribution to the Austrian Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
As the bell falls silent and the water stops circulating, the Closing Étude draws the curtain on SEAWORLD VENICE.
The venue has limited capacity, and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis until sold out. Free admission.
