For the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, artist Dries Verhoeven and curator Rieke Vos present a performance and architectural installation titled The Fortress. The project marks a historic first: it is the first time the Netherlands is represented at the Biennale Arte with a performance, and the first time the Dutch Pavilion itself becomes an integral part of the artwork. Edited by Milo Vermeire The upcoming edition of La Biennale di Venezia is from 9 May to 22 November 2026.

This limited edition publication is part of The weather has been cancelled (TWHBC), an artwork in the form of an interactive-fiction videogame. In the game environment, the player wakes up and discovers that the weather has been ‘cancelled’. Then the quest is revealed: The world needs you. You have to find out who cancelled the weather, and get it back! If you fail to restore the weather by midnight, all life on Earth will begin to perish. Good luck.
