LAST CHANCE TO SEE

THE SERPENTINE PAVILION 2026, BY LANZA ATELIER | SERPENTINE SOUTH | ON VIEW UNTIL 25 OCTOBER 2026

This year's Pavilion was designed by the Mexican architecture studio LANZA atelier, founded by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo. This groundbreaking commission, first launched in 2000 with Dame Zaha Hadid, has introduced the UK’s inaugural structures by many of the most influential figures in international architecture.

LANZA atelier emphasises the role of design in everyday interactions and identifies the pursuit of beauty as a recurring theme in their work. The Mexico City-based architecture studio founded by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo, has anchored the 2026 Serpentine Pavilion on the English architectural feature known as a serpentine, or crinkle-crankle, wall. The wall derives its stability from its curving form, requiring fewer bricks than a straight wall. The name of the Pavilion, a serpentine, is inspired by this feature, which makes up the Pavilion’s south wall and subtly references the nearby Serpentine Lake, whose gentle curve evokes the form of a serpent.

The north wall of the structure is in dialogue with the surrounding landscape, curving around the nearby tree canopy. A translucent roof allows light and air to permeate the space, softening the boundary between enclosure and openness. The roof rests lightly on brick columns which evoke a grove of trees.

LANZA atelier chose brick as the primary material to celebrate the distinctly English garden tradition and establish a conversation with the existing brick façade of the Serpentine South Gallery, which was originally built as a tea pavilion. The Pavilion is constructed from a rhythmic repetition of brick columns that transform the wall from opaque to permeable.

PUBLIC ART | JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO: PÉNÉTRABLE BBC JAUNE (1999; 2023 EDITION | SERPENTINE SOUTH | ON VIEW UNTIL 25 OCTOBER 2026 


Serpentine features the presentation of a public sculpture by Jesús Rafael SOTO, launching a dynamic summer programme in the park. Situated in the vicinity of Serpentine South, Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) is on show until 25 October 2026. This is the first outdoor presentation of the artist’s work in the UK. Art situated in the park has become central to Serpentine’s year-round activities, extending its exhibitions beyond the gallery walls and into the surrounding landscape.
 
Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) exemplifies the artist’s lifelong interest in movement, space and tactility. Born in Venezuela in 1923, SOTO became one of the leading exponents of kinetic art and created more than seventy Pénétrable sculptures of various sizes and colours throughout his seven-decade long career: works composed of metal rods and nylon strands suspended in space through which viewers are invited to enter.

Adam Tendler: Piano Works

INFO + TICKETS


In partnership with The Friends of Music at St. Mark’s


“You will be moved, profoundly and intensely.” — The New York Times


Join acclaimed pianist Adam Tendler for an hour-long concert in New Canaan’s modernist St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, designed by Sherwood, Mills and Smith and completed in 1961. Tendler will perform selections from his GRAMMY®-nominated project, Inheritances alongside other works. All are invited to a reception following the performance.


After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler received his inheritance as a literal wad of cash in a parking lot—an encounter that became the catalyst for a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind contemporary music phenomenon that has touched listeners from across the globe. Inviting a wide-ranging group of composers and sound artists, including Devonté Hynes, Laurie Anderson, Missy Mazzoli, and Nico Muhly, among others, Tendler asked each to respond to the idea of “inheritance,” resulting in a deeply personal yet universally resonant body of piano works that explore lineage, memory, loss, and place, and form a meditation on how we confront the past while shaping the future. Inheritances earned a 2026 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Solo and has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS Sunday Morning, among publications and broadcasts worldwide.


As a recording artist, Tendler has been featured on Wild Up’s GRAMMY®-nominated anthology of Julius Eastman’s music, and has also released albums of music by Franz Liszt, Robert Palmer, and of his own original work. In 2026 alone, he recorded for artists as wide-ranging as Nelly Furtado, Devonté Hynes, Michael Fiday, and Ellis Ludwig-Leone.


St. Mark’s Church was designed to express Gothic principles in a modern design. The triangular vaults of the roof are supported by thirteen white, reinforced-concrete columns, each 40 feet tall. The soaring space includes modern stained-glass designs by American artist Odell “Billie” Prather and a 42-foot-tall reredos created by sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald. St. Mark’s, which was listed in 2021 on the National Register of Historic Places, is considered essential to the context of New Canaan’s midcentury-modern architecture.

About the artist

A “daring pianist” praised for his “adventurousness and muscular skill” (The New York Times), GRAMMY®-nominated artist Adam Tendler has been called “the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), “relentlessly adventurous” (Washington Post), a “remarkable and insightful musician” (LA Times), an “intrepid… maverick pianist” (The New Yorker), and “one of contemporary classical music’s most intentional and daring pianists” (Seven Days). CBS Sunday Morning’s Lee Cowan said of Tendler on a recent segment seen by approximately 7 million people, “If you’re a cutting-edge composer these days, you want Adam to perform your pieces.”


A pioneer of DIY culture in classical music, at age 23, Tendler performed solo recitals in all fifty states as part of a grassroots tour called America 88×50, the subject of his memoir, 88×50. He has since become one of classical music’s most recognized and celebrated artists, receiving Lincoln Center’s Emerging Artist Award, the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, and appearing as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, LA Phil, Sydney Symphony, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, NJ Symphony, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, as well as on the main-stages of Carnegie Hall, the Barbican Centre, Royal Festival Hall, Sydney Opera House, BAM, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tanglewood, and other leading series and stages worldwide. Tendler is a Yamaha Artist and serves on the piano faculty of NYU.


This event is supported in part by the New Canaan Community Foundation.
