Venice Biennale Jury Resigns

Mastodon Venice 18d11d Impact 8

The European Commission has threatened to suspend 2 million euros in funding for the Venice Biennale due to a unilateral decision made by the Italian government. The review will involve examining the foundation's documentation. The ministry's discontent stems from the directorate's failure to react to various demonstrations. The Italian Ministry of Culture is conducting an investigation into the Venice Biennale following protests. The ministry expressed dissatisfaction with the Biennale's directorate for failing to respond to protests, including those from Ukraine. The investigation will review foundation documentation and protest-related matters. The probe follows discussions regarding a pavilion designed by architect Alexey Shchusev over 100 years ago that belongs to Russia. Career DLSR reports the investigation is underway.

Israeli sculptor Bellu Simeon Fainaru has accused members of a jury of racial discrimination following a ban on awards for Russia and Israel at the Venice Biennale. The Biennale leadership has not criticized the jury following the resignation of a member and has instead said the jury's independence. The resignation serves as a formal protest against the director's decision to allow these artists to exhibit. Unofficial reports suggest the decision may be linked to the presence of Russia and Israel at the Biennale.
