Schelling Architecture Foundation refuses to give James Bridle his €10k prize after he signed open letter
A German architecture foundation has rescinded one of its €10,000 (£8,360) awards from a British artist over an open letter he signed promising a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions, citing the German government’s controversial antisemitism resolution as a factor behind the decision.
The Athens-based artist and author James Bridle was announced in June as the recipient of the Schelling Architecture Foundation’s theory prize, awarded every two years, for his “outstanding contributions to architectural theory”.
