Binoy Kampmark: Cowardice And Cancellation - Creative Australia And The Venice Biennale

The dropping by Creative Australia of Lebanese-born artist Khaled Sabsabi as Australia’s representative for the 2026 Venice Biennale, along with the curator of the pavilion’s artistic team, Michael Dagostino, shows that true artistic subversion is not the game, and uncontroversial subservience the form.

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - It's Now Lowest Common Denominator Politics Instead Of Informed Political Debate
