Venice Biennale opens amid jury resignation and artist boycotts over geopolitical tensions
The 61st Venice Biennale opened Saturday with the entire five-member awards jury having resigned on April 30 in protest of Israel's and Russia's participation, refusing to award prizes to countries with leaders charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. High-profile artists including Laurie Anderson, Alfredo Jaar, and Zoe Leonard withdrew from awards consideration in solidarity, and several national pavilions including France, Ecuador, and the UAE also withdrew. The opening was marked by protests outside pavilions and a chaotic atmosphere, though the art fair is expected to attract over half a million visitors over six months.
