Italian climate advocates have glued themselves to the Vatican's famed Laocöon statue + more art industry news:

Ottawa’s Hnatyshyn Foundation is giving out 20 grants worth about C$10,000 each as part of the newly formed “Ukraine-Heritage, Spirit, and Future” award. Half of the grantees are performing artists of Ukrainian heritage living in Canada, with the other half are Ukrainian performers who only recently arrived in Canada. The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and Antonius Jugendund Kulturförderung e.V. have awarded the American artist the 2022 Ernst Rietschel Art Prize.

Johnson’s work–which probes issues of race, capitalism, and technology–will be on view at the Albertinum Dresden from August 28 through November 27, 2022. The historic Peale Museum has reopened in Baltimore, Maryland, following a $5.5 million renovation that took place over the course of five years. Considered the first “purpose-built” museum in North America, it is named for its founder, Rembrandt Peale, an artist and founder of the Baltimore-based Gas Light Company.

yeah and you still haven't figured it out things don't matter people matter 'climate deniers are like the cops in the hallway at uvalde children are waiting for you why aren't you coming? where are you?' al gore 2022

Death penalty

I was mad at most of these until I realized that they never glue/destroy the actual artwork, it's either the frame, base, there is glass in front. (so far that I've read) No art is being destroyed & they are getting attention. & in that case, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Just imagine them doing that few centuries back They would have probably cut of those hands and executed them How far the human rights have improved Also didn't an activist JUST bombard Mona Lisa with cake?

What do they do if they have to pee?

They should have left them there. See if they intended it to be a hunger strike.

While they do this bizarre spectacle, people are starving around the world. People are sick and hungry in former italian colonies such as Ethiopia for instance. And, through their misery, europeans have money to play being activists. Pathetic.

Well that has a bigger impact on art than climate.

From now on- I’m burning a tire every time an “activist” does this to an artwork
