- Following the termination of Tate’s partnership with BP last month, a number of celebrities and public figures including Margaret Atwood, Mark Ruffalo and Dame Vivienne Westwood have spoken out against the oil company’s sponsorship of the British Museum in London.
- Erwin Wurm and Brigette Kowanz have been selected to represent Austria at the 2017 Venice Biennale. The pair – who will bring together two separate projects in the single space – follow Heimo Zobernig, who represented the country in 2015.
