Geopolitical tensions have once again spilled into the world of contemporary art, as the entire international jury of the Venice Biennale resigned on Thursday, just nine days before the prestigious event was set to open.

As a result, the announcement of winners, typically held at the opening, has been postponed until the fair’s closing in November, as Morgan Ayre reports.
