Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Nine Days Before Opening Over Russia's Return

The entire jury of the Venice Biennale resigned just nine days before the prestigious art event's inauguration amid controversy over Russia's return for the first time since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The jury cited its previous decision not to consider countries whose leaders are charged with crimes against humanity for prizes—meaning Russia and Israel. Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the government did not share the decision to allow Russia. The EU had already pulled a two million Euro grant over Russia's participation, which it called morally wrong.

The Dylan-goes-electric moment: zine creators divided over AI's intrusion into DIY culture

The DIY zine community faces a cultural reckoning as artificial intelligence tools creep into the traditionally analogue art form. While some creators experiment with AI for efficiency and accessibility, many zinemakers view the technology as antithetical to the handmade, grassroots ethos that defines zine culture. Artists including Rachel Goldfinger and Maddie Marshall have produced anti-AI zines, arguing that AI undermines critical thinking and threatens artistic jobs. Others see potential in AI as a democratising tool for those lacking technical skills. The debate reflects broader tensions in creative industries about the role of AI.

Historic HMS Victory Foremast Removed in £42m Conservation Project

A 30-strong team of shipwrights and riggers has successfully removed the 15-tonne foremast from HMS Victory using a 750-tonne crane. The operation, which took place overnight Monday to Tuesday, is part of a £42m conservation project. The wrought iron mast, originally recycled from HMS Shah in the 1890s, is the first of three masts to be removed. The vessel will remain without all its masts until the project concludes in 2033.
