Artists Demand Removal From Venice Biennale Ballot

Artists at the Venice Biennale are threatening legal action to remove their names from visitor-voted awards, following the jury’s resignation over Israel and Russia’s participation. With no official jury, visitors now decide winners — a move artists call unaccountable and unfair. Though the Biennale insists on keeping names on the ballot to protect free expression, it has promised no prizes for protesters. Artists argue the system is meaningless, since voters can’t truly choose those who opt out — exposing the deep fractures tearing through this year’s art event.
