Australia’s principal arts investment and advisory body, Creative Australia, has been rocked by two senior resignations after the board withdrew Lebanese-born Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi from the 61st Venice Biennale.
Mikala Tai, who has led Creative Australia’s visual arts department for more than four years, confirmed to the Guardian late on Friday she had tendered her resignation to Creative Australia’s chief executive Adrian Collette “in support of the artist” and his curator, Michael Dagostino.
