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.

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.
