Gabrielle Goliath<\/strong>\u2019s banned performance artwork commemorating Palestinian poet <strong>Hiba Abu Nada<\/strong>, initially meant to be shown at South Africa\u2019s <strong>Venice Biennale<\/strong> pavilion, will now go on display outside the main exhibition, reports the <em>Guardian<\/em>. The Chiesa di Sant\u2019Antonin church in Venice\u2019s Castello district will host the artwork, which was nixed over its \u201chighly divisive\u201d content, as a video installation for three months, beginning May 4 and staged in partnership with the London arts center <strong>Ibraaz<\/strong>. The South African pavilion, meanwhile, will remain empty, for lack of a replacement to the Goliath exhibit. Banning the exhibition had set \u201ca dangerous precedent,\u201d said the artist, whose work grew out of an ongoing series called \u201cElegy,\u201d which she began in 2015 to mourn the murder of South African student Ipeleng Christine Moholane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CASE CRACKED<\/strong>. The identities of the artist and young Black subject in an\u00a018th-century portrait acquired by the\u00a0<strong>Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)<\/strong>\u00a0in 2020 have long mystified experts. But museum researchers now claim they\u2019ve cracked the case, reports the <em>Art Newspaper<\/em>. The subject of the 1775 painting is apparently an enslaved woman known as <strong>Eleonora Susette<\/strong>, who was born in the former Dutch colony of present-day Guyana, while the artist was Berlin-born <strong>Jeremias Schultz<\/strong> (1722-1800). Researchers were tipped off to their identities thanks to a lucky email from a family in the Netherlands with ties to the artist. \u201cToronto is home to a large Caribbean community. It\u2019s gotten a great buzz,\u201d said <strong>Adam Harris Levine<\/strong>, associate curator of European art at AGO. \u201cResearch is still ongoing.

The old city of Aleppo in Syria is famous for its <strong>Unesco<\/strong>-listed skyline, dense with ancient buildings and a fortified medieval palace.
