The Biennale did not provide a reason for the resignations, major media reports said. The jury consisted of president Solange Farkas and members Zoe Butt, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Marta Kuzma, and Giovanna Zapperi, according to major media reports. The Venice Biennale is scheduled to start on May 9, according to major media reports.
The award ceremony originally scheduled for May 9 has been postponed to November 22, organizers confirmed. It remains unclear why the jury resigned and whether the resignations were linked to the dispute over Russia, Israel, or both. Who will replace the resigned members has not been announced.
