Israeli Artist Shuts Venice Biennale Exhibit and Calls for Gaza Cease-Fire
Quick Glance: Artist Closes Israel Pavilion at Venice Biennale
  • Ruth Patir, representing Israel, refuses to open her show in the national pavilion until Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire and agreement on hostage release.

  • Despite the efforts of thousands of pro-Palestinian activists since February to urge the Venice Biennale, one of the world's most prestigious international art exhibitions, to ban Israel over its conduct in the Gaza war, the doors to the Israel pavilion will remain closed at the request of the artists and curators representing Israel.

  • Artist Ruth Patir, chosen to represent Israel, stated in an interview that the situation in Gaza was larger than herself and that closing the pavilion was the only action she could take, despite the Biennale being a significant opportunity for a young artist like her.

  • The sign on the window of the Israel pavilion indicates that the exhibition will open only when a cease-fire and agreement on hostage release is achieved by the artists and curators representing Israel.
