Obama Administration Approves Shell’s Plan to Drill in the Arctic – “The Obama administration gave conditional approval today to Shell to start drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic Ocean this summer.

Playing Politics: JJ Charlesworth on Why Art World Hypocrisy Stars at the 56th Venice Biennale – “What the Biennale doesn’t want to investigate is the mystery of its own creation. Why should it? Who really needs this vast moot for an increasingly homogenous and international style of slightly-political, issues-based art? Not the visiting public, for sure–we’ll look at anything, but we’re not the ones making it happen. No, who really needs it is the new global class of cultural entrepreneurs for which art has become a truly international opportunity, as the emerging economic regions seek to assert themselves on the world stage through the vehicle of the new global art culture.”
