@benhuser why is the Biennale getting EU subventions in the first place? It's already where art 'big money' goes... smaller event might have bigger need for these funds!
Excluding Russia?... why not... but then what about Israel, USA (maybe the biggest terrorist state... )? Who and how are those decisions taken 🤔.
Venice biennale is kind of a rotten huge art fair mixed with entertainment park made for tourism, art speculation, national prides, minority washing and big business contracts.
