Venice Biennale jury resigns amid row over Russian entry

The Venice Biennale's international jury resigned Thursday, nine days before opening, amid tensions over Russia's participation and the panel's decision to bar prizes for countries accused of crimes against humanity. The jury had announced it would not award prizes to Israel and Russia, whose participation has been opposed by Italy's government. Visitors will now select award winners instead.
