Pakistan\u2019s Karachi Biennale<\/strong> has cancelled its fifth edition, themed \u201cKal<\/em>\u201d (Tomorrow), due to \u201cwar conditions prevailing in the region,\u201d according to an Instagram announcement, Hyperallergic reports. The art exhibition was due to run January 16 to 31, guided by curator Noor Ahmed, who reportedly was not consulted on the decision to cancel. \u201cArtists and partners have been contacting me, and they are all quite disappointed about how communications and commitments with them are being handled,\u201d Ahmed told Hyperallergic<\/em>. She added that the event\u2019s closure was \u201cdetrimental for Pakistan\u2019s international art ecosystem,\u201d and that \u201cduring a time of stated war and unrest, art becomes all the more powerful.\u201d Over 100 artists and three co-curators were engaged with the project. The Karachi Biennale Trust<\/strong>, which organizes the event, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n GONE TO PIECES<\/strong>. A Jingdezhen<\/strong> porcelain bowl and box mysteriously shattered inside a display case at the British Museum<\/strong>, and when photos spread on social media, so did questions about their preservation and a perceived lack of attention around the incident, reports Artforum<\/em> and the South China Morning Post<\/em>. The museum confirmed the incident occurred on October 4 but found no signs to explain how a three-hundred-year-old bowl could have fallen onto a box below, breaking both objects, which are now being repaired. Chinese visitors posted photographs of the broken pieces in the display, which \u201chas sparked debate on Chinese social media over how museums should protect fragile works,\u201d reported SCMP<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tIn a speech at the opening ceremony celebrating the newly expanded Kunsthalle<\/strong>W\u00fcrth <\/strong>in the German town of Schw\u00e4bisch Hall, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier<\/strong> warned of nationalist threats to the \u201cfreedom of art,\u201d referencing institutions such as the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation<\/strong> museum and design center, which \u201cfears for its survival.\u201d [dpa]<\/p>\n Art Cologne,<\/strong> an art fair founded in 1967, is moving to a new, more spacious venue in Hall 1 of the Confex Conference and Exhibition Center<\/strong>, starting with the October 2027 edition. [Monopol]<\/p>\n Donald Insall<\/strong>, an architect and \u201cpioneering conservationist,\u201d who notably worked on renovating and preserving Windsor Castle after it was damaged in a 1992 fire, has died at age 100, his studio announced.

[The Associated Press]<\/p>\n \n\tA 15th-century mosque in Thessaloniki, which at one point was used as a cinema called Alacazar, has just reopened as an arts and cultural exhibition space run by the Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki (MOMus)<\/strong> following years of restoration work. [The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n MAKING A SPLASH<\/strong>. Archaeologists have just uncovered the oldest-known shipwreck off the Turkish coast, dating to between 4,400 and 4,700 years ago, or around the time that Egypt\u2019s Great Pyramid of Giza was built, reports Independent<\/em> and the Journal of Maritime Archaeology<\/em>. Researchers found double-handled ceramic containers and stone anchors that would have been carried in what was likely a wooden trade ship, the remains of which have long vanished. \u201cThe three-holed stone anchors found in the wreck area resemble those seen in Bronze Age Minoan, Cypriot, Anatolian, Levantine contexts,\u201d stated researchers, who noted these details could reveal new information about Bronze Age shipping techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/karachi-biennale-cancelled-shattered-british-museum-porcelain-sparks-debate-china-morning-links-1234802321\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-1821402025.jpg?w=1024″] To receive Morning Links in your inbox every weekday, sign up for our Breakfast with ARTnews newsletter.
