Khaled Sabsabi reinstated as Venice Biennale representative after independent review into dumping | Culture

After an independent external examination of the Creative Australia, Creative Australia restored the artist Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino as an artistic team for the 2026 Venice biennial of Australia.

The couple was thrown from the prestigious art exhibition earlier this year after the Creative Australia’s decision to cancel their appointments.

“Today, Creative Australia by Creative Australia in the 2026 Venice Biennial for the Australian pavilion as the art team was officially informed,” he said.

“We accept this invitation and welcome the opportunity to represent our country at this prestigious international stage.”

Following the negative media and political interpretations of the two of the historical artworks of Sabsabi dating back to the public in February and Sabsabi dates back to 20 years ago, Creative Australia canceled his contracts by saying that he wanted to avoid a “separatist debate”.

The artistic duo said that the decision renewed its confidence in the creative Australia and the “integrity of the election process”.

“It offers a sense of solution and enables us to progress with optimism and hope after important personal and collective difficulties,” he said.

“We acknowledge that this challenging journey affects not only us, but also our families, our friends, the staff in Creative Australia, and the others in the wider artistic community here and abroad.

“We couldn’t reach this point without the invariant support of Australia and the international creative community.”

The decision of the Creative Australia’s board of directors to condemn them in the artistic world requires hundreds of signature petitions to be restored.

The examination conducted by Blackhall & Pearl examined how the Board uses its decision in accordance with both the creative Australian law and its obligations under the law of public governance, performance and accountability.

Although the examination did not violate any part of the Board of the Board, the responsibilities of the federal government’s main financing body extend beyond the artistic community.

“Ultimately, ultimately, there was no single or dominant process, governance or decision -making failure. [Sabsabi and Dagostino]”The last report has ended.

“But a series of wrong steps, assumptions and kidnapped
Opportunities, which mean neither creative Australia nor the leadership of the board of directors, are not well placed well to respond to any criticism or discussion that may arise in relation to the election decision.

“While monitoring the same (previously successful) process,
Inadequate briefing to the Board led to a limited understanding of board of directors and
The supervision of systems and processes used in the election process. “

The investigation concluded that there was no one who has been prepared enough for a bir a potentially divisive debate ünde in Creative Australia, but this failure was not a mistake of any person or a group.

However, the lack of preparation, the lack of clarity around the roles and computability of creative Australian employees, and a series of more worsened errors that worsened with the lack of clarity and the unresolved tensions on the roles of the organization in Australia and their unresolved tensions on their stakeholders and their competition.

“Most of the flaws in the biennial election process have an unfortunate irony because it is due to a strong desire to protect decisions about artistic value away from non -artistic ideas,” he said.

“This has been critical to protecting freedom of expression and creative society. In fact, in the Venice biennial, the representation of the Australian representation has led to a much worse conclusion than the risk assessment of all interest, carefully thought of all interest and the entry into force of crisis management.”

In the report, Creative said that Australia is a “important task için to rebuild at least some parts of the creative community and some employees.

Both Creative Australia’s General Manager Adrian Collette and Chairman of the Board of Directors Robert Morgan said that a Senate investigation earlier this year had no intention of resigning from discussions. Morgan announced that he would retire in May.
