Original folded exhibition guide issued for Things to Come, Maja Malou Lyse’s presentation for the Danish Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, 6 May – 22 November 2026. Commissioner: Danish Arts Foundation. Curator: Chus Martínez. Exhibition design: Common Accounts. Technical coordination: M+B Studio. Graphic design: Studio Claus Due.

Folded, the object functions as exhibition literature. Opened, it becomes a poster. One side carries the title and institutional identity of the pavilion; the reverse unfolds into a full-scale image from the project while recording the administrative structure that made the exhibition possible: commissioner, curator, exhibition designers, production team, funders, assistants, technical staff, and acknowledgements. The exhibition survives here as both image and organisational diagram.
The object does not reproduce the exhibition. It records its conditions of appearance. Image, typography, sponsorship, labour, and circulation occupy the same surface. The exhibition returns as printed support.
Like much Biennale material, it was produced for immediate distribution rather than long-term retention. Most examples remained within the temporary economy of the exhibition itself. Copies that persist become records of passage through one of contemporary art’s principal international infrastructures.
Shipping and handling included in the listed price.
