Zadik Zadikian to represent Armenia
Fallen Angels Inc. is honoured to announce that the Republic of Armenia will be represented at the 2026 Venice Biennale by the artist Zadik Zadikian, whose practice spans decades of sculpture and a lifelong dialogue with material, light and the act of making.
In keeping with the Biennale’s theme, In Minor Keys, an invitation to create spaces of reflection and attention, Zadikian will turn the Armenian Pavilion into a living studio: a place of continual making, open to everyone who walks in.
A studio, not a showroom
Rather than a finished exhibition, the pavilion will be a working space where visitors watch form and thought unfold in real time. Material, process and the daily rhythm of an artist’s labour become the exhibition itself.
The building block is a single unit: a brick of pigmented plaster, cast by hand, that can be stacked, leaned and recombined into larger forms. Zadikian has been testing the units in his studio through 2025.
Our part
Fallen Angels Inc. is proud to support this undertaking. As a nonprofit dedicated to artists who widen the cultural conversation, we are committed to making Armenia’s presence at the 2026 Biennale both strong and deeply felt.
