Controversial far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin proposes the exhibition of dissident-right art at the US Pavilion for the Venice Biennale.

The 2026 Venice Biennale, one of the world's most prestigious art events, is fast approaching, but there's no clear indication yet of what the United States will present at the event.

Recent sources have not reported on a proposed "dissident-right art hos" pavilion, as pitched by Curtis Yarvin. It's worth noting that Yarvin, a far-right blogger, is known for inspiring a new generation of MAGA supporters.

The application portal for the US Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale was opened later than in the past, and the deadline for submissions is July 30. The application requires programs to be representative of American political, social, and cultural life, but the phraseology used does not emphasize diversity, unlike the previous application.

Kathleen Ash-Milby, a cocurator of Jeffrey Gibson's US Pavilion at the 2024 Biennale, has expressed concerns about the short timeline for the 2026 pavilion. Less than a year is left to produce the US Pavilion, an unusually short period.

The term "dissident right" refers to a crowd that is avowedly anti-woke and is based in several locations across the nation, including Dimes Square in New York's Chinatown neighbourhood and a sensibility. However, no credible information from the recent search results indicates that anyone is proposing a "dissident-right art hos" pavilion for the 2026 Venice Biennale.

As for the current status of the US Pavilion application process, no information is available from the given recent data. It might require more specialized or official Venice Biennale or US State Department sources to gather details on the application or selection process.
