Venice Biennale Jury Resigns Week Before Exhibition Opens
Share:
The jury for the Venice Biennale art exhibition resigned just one week before the prestigious international event was scheduled to begin. The resignation came one week after the jury announced it would exclude countries from receiving awards if the International Criminal Court (ICC) had issued arrest warrants for their leaders on war crimes charges. The Venice Biennale is one of the world's most important contemporary art exhibitions, featuring national pavilions from countries around the globe and awarding prizes for outstanding artistic contributions.
