Cultural Governance and the Selection of Alma Allen for the 2026 Venice Biennale—

Implications for Institutional Gatekeeping and Non-Credentialed Talent

Author: A. R. Calder

Publisher: Ordinaria Research Group


This brief analyzes the institutional calculus behind the nomination of Alma Allen for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale. It interrogates non-credentialed legitimacy, symbolic allocation, and the shifting architecture of gatekeeping under reputational governance. The report forms part of a wider audit on curatorial decision-making under post-credential conditions.
