"The exhibition is titled 'No Go Elevator (not without no keycard)' and marks the duo's first showcase outside the U.K. The space in Venice will be filled with a mix of drawings and a large painting."
"'There is no unifying theme, no concept,' Yorke explained. 'What is left out is more important than what is included right now... what may appear simple has a whole forest of confusion behind it!'"
"'It is very important to look at the words, and if you do not then you will have missed half of the work,' Donwood said over email. 'However, it is not important to understand the words, so do not worry about that.'"
Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood will unveil their exhibition 'No Go Elevator (not without no keycard)' in Venice during the Biennale. This marks their first showcase outside the U.K. The exhibition will feature new drawings and a large painting, created primarily in London. The artwork includes delicate inkwork depicting isolated terrains. Yorke noted the absence of a unifying theme, while Donwood emphasized the importance of the exhibition's textual elements, suggesting that understanding the words is not necessary for appreciating the work.
