There were calls this summer for Stefanie Carp to be dismissed as director of the Ruhr Triennale after she first sacked a band for proclaiming BDS views on Israel, then chickened out and reinstated it.

Carp has now been given a second year as director. But the board have insisted that she is accompanied at all times by a deputy with the power of veto over her decisions.

The Triennale, founded by Gerard Mortier, has degenerated into farce.
