After the firestorm: First look at Australian artist’s Venice Biennale works

Australia has opened its pavilion at the Venice Biennale featuring artist Khaled Sabsabi's multimedia installation "conference of one's self," a vivid work inspired by a 12th-century Sufi poem. The exhibition follows a political firestorm: Creative Australia initially selected Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostini to represent the country, then rescinded the invitation after controversy over a 2007 video featuring Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The decision was later reinstated, and Sabsabi also has a companion work in the main Biennale exhibition curated by Koyo Kouoh. The pavilion is funded by the federal government and private donors including Simon Mordant and the Turnbull Foundation.

'There's no point in an art gallery without artists'

Artists and curators in the UK are increasingly mobilizing to address the rapid integration of artificial intelligence in the creative sector. Following a public backlash against an AI-focused workshop at a local gallery in Hull, curator Lucy Brooke organized forums to discuss the ethical implications of machine learning, including copyright, plagiarism, and environmental impacts. While some creators are calling for stricter institutional policies and collective lobbying against AI exploitation, others, like illustrator Eleanor Tomlinson, view the technology as a transitional challenge similar to the invention of photography, focusing on public education rather than opposition.
