Venice Biennale Award Ceremony Postponed To Closing Day

Radio 24 Venice 12d11d Impact 8

The Venice Biennale has rescheduled its awards ceremony to November 22 following the resignation of the international jury. The decision follows a commission's suspension of 2 million euros in exhibition funding one week ago. The funding suspension was linked to the presence of a Russian pavilion at the event. Mikhail Shevetko, the presidential special representative for international cultural cooperation, commented on the situation. The jury of the Venice Biennale resigned following the cancellation of funding from the European Commission regarding the Russian pavilion. This resignation follows an investigation by the Italian Ministry of Culture into whether sanctions were violated concerning Russia's return to the art fair. Biennale President Petrangeli Butafooka stated he considered it better for the jury to step down.

The source describes the situation as pressure being applied to artists. This follows reports that Russia and Israel, which were excluded from laureate status last week, are now eligible to compete again for best national participation awards. The exhibition president, Pitrangelo Butafooka, suggested the jury might step down, leading to a decision where visitors will instead vote for the best participant. Organizers decided that regular visitors, rather than professional juries, will now determine the winners of the main prizes, known as the Golden Lions.
