The Radiant Van

The new Luce d’Artista conceived by the anonymous artist trio CANEMORTO

From 7 to 10 May 2026
Opening on 7 May 2026, 19:30-22:30

During the opening week of the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale, The Radiant Van, the new Luce d’Artista conceived by the anonymous artist trio CANEMORTO, a van transformed into a mobile light installation, will be presented in front of Casermetta 9 at Forte Marghera, in collaboration with the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (MUVE).

The project develops from two archetypes connected to Turin: its automotive industrial vocation and its relationship with the magical and esoteric dimension. CANEMORTO transforms a classic work van into a “magic lantern in motion”: perforated panels, engravings and an internal lighting system – also powered by solar energy – project a constellation of apotropaic signs into space.

The Radiant Van will be on display from 6 to 10 May, concurrently with the exhibition Granda. Gli artisti degli Atelier 2024–2025. During these days the CANEMORTO triad will activate the Van through a series of performances, with an opening event on Thursday 7 May from 19:30 to 22:30.

CANEMORTO

CANEMORTO, an anonymous Italian artist trio founded in 2007, has built over the years a language that blends conceptual art, underground subcultures, and Dadaist provocation within a surreal macro-narrative where reality and fiction overlap. Painting, sculpture, video, and performance coexist in an expressionist, ironic, and destabilizing imaginary that finds in The Radiant Van a new form of expansion into urban space
