The George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, has opened a new exhibit in its collection gallery that explores how photography has been taught and passed down across generations. The exhibit combines historical works with nearly 900 recently acquired pieces, highlighting the role of family-run portrait studios and the intergenerational transfer of photographic knowledge and practice.
The Venice Biennale previewed its 61st edition in chaos on Tuesday, marked by the unprecedented resignation of its jury over the participation of Israel and Russia. Ukrainian artists displayed a statue of an origami deer from the war-torn eastern front, while Russian pavilion participants danced to house music and Palestinians marched wearing the names of artists killed in Gaza. The jury had stated it would not award prizes to countries under International Criminal Court investigation, singling out Russia and Israel, and its resignation has thrown the exhibition's structure into question.
