Interesting, John. Your 'hateful' comments about The Powerhouse are free speech and justified crticism. But support a Gazan suffering genocide and they are anti-Semitic.
Not that the DJ at the Biennale opening night party made enough sense to be anti-Semitic and clearly shouldn't have been taken seriously as representing BOS as Timothee Chalamet was in his comments on opera and ballet.
Rather than going down the Christopher Allen route, perhaps you should stick to art?
How sad and predictable that the conflict in the Middle East is perceived in such narrow terms. Israel vs Palestine, Israel vs Lebanon and the USA vs everyone. Not all people in Israel or the U.S. support these conflicts but to break them down into the diverse and subtle complexities that they are requires time and balanced and fair journalism as J.M. tries hard to maintain in his field.
However subtlety and balance has long been missing in the visual arts and we are left with rants that leave out inconvenient and hard truths

Which/whose definition of antisemitism are you using Jeremy?
It's miserable seeing the BOS apparently so determined to self-immolate at the outset.
Well said John.
John, Right on.
Thank you, for being anything but cowardly and for calling out the cowardly silence within the media and art world when it comes to to antisemitism

You'll never get into a Biennale if you think like that, Hadyn!
Spot on. 'Pure cowardice.' Excellent article.
And I am genuinely looking forward to seeing the art.
