Klara Kristalova

La Biennale di Venezia
April 27, 2026

We met Klara Kristalova in her studio near Stockholm, where she introduced us to the works she will present at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia alongside Benjamin Orlow and Tori Wrånes for the Nordic Countries Pavilion.

 

Titled “How Many Angels Can Dance on the Head of a Pin?”, the exhibition will transform the Pavilion into a mythical landscape that evokes cycles of decay, renewal, and transformation.

 

Through hybrid works that merge plant, animal, and human forms, the artists draw on the language of myth as a universal point of reference to explore these cycles, as well as the deep interconnectedness of all things.

 

Curated by Kiasma’s Chief Curator, Anna Mustonen Commissioned by Kiasma, Finland, in collaboration with Moderna Museet, Sweden, and OCA – Office for Contemporary Art Norway.
