Opening Soon
The Doughnut (W)Hole – a pavilion of The Wrong Biennale Nº7 – opens its digital doors on 1st November at 10:30am (GMT). Blending digital and physical encounters, the pavilion will remain live for six months, hosting hybrid pop-up exhibitions, talks, workshops, and a reading group, beginning with an in-person embassy at Hapax Living Room.

Book here for Hapax Living Room events!

Exploring holes, wholes, spectres, and glitches, this online pavilion embraces play and enjoyment as acts of resistance – sustaining dialogue, connection, and creativity amid the entangled systems we inhabit, create, and are part of.

Opening Weekend Programme


1st and 2nd November 2025        



Our opening weekend is taking place, to use The Wrong's phrase, in an embassy – an in-person pop-up exhibition at HAPAX Living Room – with talks, funding surgeries, art and of course, doughnuts!

Living Room
Talk with Dr Jane Boyer  

Finitude marks the point where we end and others begin. Does AI deprive us of the sense of finitude?  Is it frightening in part because we no longer see the end to ourselves, but a terrifying mash of an undifferentiated state of sameness? Dr Jane Boyer's talk will be a meditation on Kaja Silverman's writing on finitude, as Boyer believes this may be the crux of the question in The Doughnut (W)Hole and in the wider existential crisis of photography.

Following Jane's talk, Gisela Torres will chair a roundtable with Dr Jane Boyer and pavilion artists; Sarah-Jane Field and Maria Ahmed.

15:00–16:00 | Performing (W)Holes
Living Room
Talk with Evangelia Danadaki

This talk explores the link between philosophy, technology and artistic practice by approaching the (w)hole as a performative space where absence generates relations and surprising visibilities. Rather than a void to be filled, the hole is understood as a luminous and caring opening to be felt, a screen where images come into presence through unexpected projections. Through her video-film ghosting myself, Evangelia Danadaki reflects on how visual forms of writing can act as gestures of meaning-making and care, allowing the image to recompose itself and expose its own fragility and criticality: how might art perform the (w)hole not as lack, but as a shared space that holds and carries?

Evangelia Danadaki is an artist and PhD candidate in feminist philosophy and psychoanalysis at the University of Leeds (School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies).

12:00–14:00 | Memory(W)Holes
Living Room
Talk with Dr Caroline Molloy

In this session, Memory Hole: The fallibility of Memory - Dr Caroline Molloy will introduce a tenet that emerged out of her PhD research that questions what happens to memory in the Age of Digital Photography; when the physical photograph can allegorically be created and recreated. How does this impact personal and collective memories?  She will then lead a conversation with selected artists who have developed work to either open or close memory holes through digital and AI photographies.

Artists: Sarah Deane, Alan Knox, Heidi Reece
Booking required


14:30–16:00 | Pot(W)Holes
Living Room
Talk with Dr Madeline Yale Preston

Long before AI became a household name, artists were foraging on the frontiers of synthetic creativity – montage, appropriation and digital manipulation.  In this session, Madeline Yale Preston will explore the question of what shifts how, in the age of AI - is it the practice itself or our relationship with it?

Artists: Ben Millar Cole, Duncan Petrie

About The Wrong Biennale

The Wrong Biennale is an expansive, decentralised art event that unites artists, curators, institutions, and the public through a global exhibition of exhibitions. Organised and hosted both online and offline by independent curators, it showcases selected digital artworks within pavilions and embassies worldwide. The Wrong has earned widespread recognition and accolades from the global press, art community, and public.  It has received awards such as SOIS Cultura and an honorific mention from the European Commission’s S+T+ARTS prize. The Wrong is an institutional member of the International Biennial Association.

From an article titled What’s Right About the Wrong Biennale? in The New York Times (2018);

Counting its viewership in the millions, The Wrong just might be the world’s largest art biennale — the digital world’s answer to Venice. To visit, art lovers needn’t purchase a plane ticket, book a hotel or queue outside galleries: Admission requires only internet access...
The Wrong’s magic lies in the sense of discovery yielded by a simple click.



  
Look out for further events and activities throughout the biennale's run.
