Decision follows backlash from Italian government and European Commission
The jury of the https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/venice-biennale">Venice Biennale has quit just days before the prestigious art exhibition was due to begin, amid a row over the decision to allow Russia to participate.
The resignation of the five-member international jury was announced late on Thursday in a https://www.labiennale.org/it/news/le-dimissioni-della%C2%A0giuria-internazionale%C2%A0della-biennale-arte-2026">brief statement by the Venice Biennale organisers, and came a day after the Italian culture ministry sent inspectors to Venice in search of information about the decision to allow Russia to have a pavilion at this year’s event.
