Rome, 27 Apr. (LaPresse) – "The boycott of the Israeli artist Belu-Simion Fainaru by the International Jury of the Venice Biennale represents a contamination of the art world." This was stated by the Israeli Foreign Ministry in a post on X. "The politically driven jury has turned the Biennale from an open artistic space, free of ideas and limits, into a display of false anti-Israeli political indoctrination," the post concludes.
