The US State Department has officially confirmed that sculptor Alma Allen will represent the United States at the 2026 Venice Biennale, following earlier delays caused by a 43-day government shutdown.

Sculptor Alma Allen reportedly selected to represent US at 2026 Venice Biennale

Sculptor Alma Allen has reportedly been selected to represent the United States at the 2026 Venice Biennale, replacing Robert Lazzarini, who was dropped after political interference and delays linked to the Trump administration's cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts. The selection process has been fraught, with the State Department directly choosing Lazzarini without NEA involvement, and his proposal—featuring distorted renderings of US national symbols—collapsed amid claims of political meddling. Allen, a Mexico-based artist formerly represented by Kasmin and now in talks with Perrotin, is less established than recent US pavilion artists like Jeffrey Gibson or Simone Leigh, but has a strong practice in stone, wood, and bronze sculpture.

An Exhibition of Silenced Artists Sends a Warning in New York City

An exhibition titled "Don’t Look Now: A Defense of Free Expression" has opened at Nathalie Karg Gallery in New York City, organized by the nonprofit Art at a Time Like This and co-founded by curator Barbara Pollack. The show features artworks by artists who have experienced censorship, including Danielle SeeWalker’s painting "G is for Genocide" (2024), which led to the revocation of her artist residency in Vail, Colorado, and Andil Gosine’s altered photograph "Magna Carta" (2025), which was removed from a planned exhibition at the Art Museum of the Americas. The works address suppression linked to President Trump’s crackdown on DEI, anti-Palestine sentiment, and other forms of censorship, with some institutions self-censoring due to funding cuts from entities like the National Endowment for the Arts.
