Venice Biennale director under pressure after jury quits

The Venice Art Biennale is facing controversy and potential changes in leadership. The international jury resigned amid disputes over Russia and Israel's participation, with Italian Culture Minister accusing the Biennale president of pursuing a side foreign policy by readmitting Russia. The opening ceremony has been cancelled and prizes will now be awarded by a vote among visitors on the final day of the exhibition in November. The Biennale president is facing increasing scrutiny and speculation about his future.
