Art Gallery of Ontario curator resigned after failed acquisition of Nan Goldin work

A senior curator at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) resigned after the museum's modern and contemporary curatorial working committee voted 11-to-9 against acquiring Nan Goldin's moving-image work "Stendhal Syndrome" (2024), citing allegations of antisemitism over remarks Goldin made in a 2024 speech at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie. The AGO had planned to jointly purchase the work with the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Walker Art Center, but pulled out in mid 2025; the other two institutions proceeded with the acquisition. Two volunteer members of the collections committee also resigned over the decision, according to a leaked memo obtained by The Globe and Mail.

Hyperallergic’s Guide to the 2026 Venice Biennale

Hyperallergic has published its guide to the 2026 Venice Biennale, detailing what to see and do at this year's edition. The guide covers the three main categories of the Biennale—the Giardini with 29 permanent national pavilions, the Arsenale with temporary rented spaces, and collateral events across the city. Key developments include the return of Russia to its permanent Giardini pavilion and Israel's participation with a new contractual stipulation preventing its artist from closing the pavilion, after Ruth Patir's protest in 2024. South Africa withdrew following the cancellation of Gabrielle Goliath's video installation 'Elegy,' which mourns victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza and will now be shown at a historic church. The United States will be represented by Alma Allen after Barbara Chase-Riboud stepped down, and Qatar is set to become the first country in decades to build a new pavilion in the Giardini.

Is the US about to be humiliated on the world’s most prestigious cultural stage?

More than 70 prominent international artists have signed an open letter demanding the exclusion of the United States, Israel, and Russia from the 2026 Venice Biennale, accusing those governments of committing war crimes and atrocities. The controversy centers on the US pavilion, which will feature Mexico-based American artist Alma Allen, whose abstract, anodyne sculptures were chosen by a last-minute commissioner with no art-world experience—a luxury pet food store owner from Florida who reportedly gained the role through connections at Mar-a-Lago. The Biennale's five-person jury has already resigned amid the furor, and Russia is returning to the event for the first time since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
