France's iconic Pompidou Centre in Paris has called off its plan to open its first US branch in Jersey City – strictly speaking in the state of New Jersey, but considered a suburb of New York – in 2027. The museum says that the project has been "suspended until further notice," confirming reports in the US media. With its financing a source of controversy from the outset, the project’s future was thrown into real jeopardy when local authorities in New Jersey withdrew public funding on Saturday. “While we are honoured that Jersey City was selected as the first North American location for a Cent...

Billed as the most comprehensive UK exhibition about Ukrainian modernist art, In the Eye of the Storm opens at London’s Royal Academy of Arts on Saturday. The show covers modernism in Ukraine from 1900-1930, a tumultuous period that included the First World War and the creation of the Soviet Union, and gave rise to bold creative experimentation. Among the over 60 works on show – ranging from sketches and collage to designs for theatre shows and oil paintings – are celebrated names like Kazymyr Malevych, El Lissitzky, Sonia Delaunay and Alexandra Exter. They’re joined by perhaps lesser-known – ...

French studio Moreau Kusunoki have unveiled their plans for the prolonged renovation of Paris' iconic Pompidou Centre – a project that could take up to five years to complete, at an estimated cost of €262m. One of the largest modern and contemporary art museums in the world, the Pompidou Centre is known for its groundbreaking "inside out" structure, which displays pipework on the outside, but which has suffered serious wear and tear. Moreau Kusunoki will bring their plans to fruition with the help of Mexico City and New York-based studio Frida Escobedo. According to the studios, the overhaul s...

Ask any taxi driver, waiter, or friendly local selling crocheted monsters in a vintage boutique: Kristiansand has the best weather in Norway. Warm and bright in May, its pier is pimpled with people eating ice cream and yappy Yorkshire terriers, little kernels of life lolling beneath the towering cylindrical structures of a grain silo turned gallery. The story of the Kunstsilo begins nine years ago, when hedge fund manager Nicolai Tangen - known in Norway as the "trillion dollar man" - decided to donate his art collection to his hometown. Made up of modernist pieces spanning 1930-1990, Tangen's...

In troubled times, there's something about Mark Rothko's art that provides respite. His iconic rectangular colour fields - vibrant empty spaces, layered with texture - absorb our focus and allow our feelings to meander in oddly reassuring ways. Perhaps this is why Rothko is having such a resurgence in Europe right now. Last year, the Louis Vuitton Foundation presented the first retrospective in France dedicated to his works since 1999. Now, it's Norway's turn: a fascinating new exhibition dedicated to the 20th century abstract artist's lesser-known works on paper opens at the National Museum i...

Often hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern sculpture, Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi was fully embraced by his adopted country France – and the feeling was mutual. When the sculptor died in 1957, he left the French government his Paris studio, where he had completed the majority of his works from 1916 until his death. Brancusi’s studio became a jewel in the Centre Pompidou’s collection, and was fully reconstructed on the parvis outside the museum’s walls in 1997. As the Centre Pompidou undergoes renovation works, the museum has taken the opportunity to give Brancusi’s studio a li...

This week we introduce you to three on-going exhibitions featuring modern design and contemporary artists, each raising questions about the state of the world we live in. Historically, the appearance of art movements has been triggered by a certain social and economic phenomenon along with the curiosity of artists. Seeing how creatives have learned, emulated and evolved from their predecessors, the contemporary scene brings excitement for what current and future artists can bring to the table. “The Polyphony of Function and Decoration”Located in Meguro is the Former Residence of Prince Asaka, ...
