centre pompidou grand palais space financial constraints

The Centre Pompidou has relinquished one of its two exhibition spaces at the Grand Palais in Paris, citing financial constraints faced by both institutions. The smaller space, known as Gallery 8, was being used for notable programming, including a planned photography exhibition for the bicentennial of the medium, which has now been canceled. The decision follows low attendance for shows like the Art Brut collection of filmmaker Bruno Decharme, and a reported €10 million shortfall at the Grand Palais in 2025, compounded by renovation cost overruns.

Spirited art—Sharon Stone looks to the afterlife for her latest paintings

Sharon Stone, the actress turned artist, has created a new series of paintings titled "Rogues Gallery" that she claims were inspired by channeling spirits from different historical eras. The works include a portrait called "Him" (2025), which she says depicts an enslaved person who drowned in the East China Sea on a slave ship. Stone describes her process as communicating with these spirits while painting, evoking the spiritualist approach of artists like Hilma af Klint. She plans to exhibit the works in intimate, phone-free settings to enhance the ethereal experience.
