In tandem with the opening, dozens of artists announced their withdrawal from awards consideration — the latest in a wave of protests surrounding the international art event

Laurie Anderson, Alfredo Jaar and Zoe Leonard are among the high-profile signatories who backed the statement of withdrawal

The Venice Biennale's top awards will not be given as planned because the jury quit. This is the first time in the art show's history that the main awards have been cancelled.

Another wonderful person added to my Ages project, the 22nd person. Hopefully a couple more this week. https://starshumansnests.com/ages/

Much as each individual story is interesting and, hopefully the images are good too, they are all part of a wider project. It is about the social construction of age, which is largely harmful. Each participant is another example of someone, whatever age they happen to be, just being present - who and how they are just now. Do read what they have to say, the photos are vital of course, but they are only part of the process.

I'm hoping to gather more people and to stretch the age range of the participants and the diversity of body types. Get in touch if you'd like to join.
