Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood Are Bringing Their “No Go Elevator” Exhibit to Venice

Around the time of the 2026 Venice Biennale, an exhibition called “No Go Elevator (not without no keycard)” by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and artist Stanley Donwood will open on Fondamenta dei Penini. The show, running from May 6th to June 7th, promises a haunting and immersive experience. It features detailed ink drawings, often with intentional smudges and corrections, portraying vast, lonely landscapes and pyramid-shaped buildings. Donwood explains that words are an important part of the artwork, and visitors will receive a list of words on the exhibition flyer – a sort of guide – to help them navigate the show’s mysterious themes.

Stranger Things’ New Spinoff Redeems The Show’s Most Disappointing Cameo

Beyond just the main characters, Stranger Things consistently creates memorable supporting roles, even if they aren’t always perfectly developed. A key to this success has been casting well-known actors – like Sean Astin as Bob in season 2, Cary Elwes as Mayor Kline in season 3, and Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay in the upcoming fifth season.
