German architecture award rescinded over British artist’s Israel boycott vow (Guardian, 2024-11-18)
"[the Schelling Architecture Foundation] has rescinded one of its … awards from a British artist [James Bridle] over the signing of an open letter promising a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions, citing the German parliament’s controversial antisemitism resolution as a factor behind the decision.”
“… on Sunday, days before this Wednesday’s awards ceremony …, Bridle was informed in an email that the foundation’s committee had decided unanimously not to award them the prize because Bridle was among the several thousand authors who signed an open letter calling for a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions.”
“In its email … the foundation further linked its decision to a cross-party resolution passed by the German parliament earlier this month.”
