Billionaire Breakup at Glenstone! And José Freire’s Latest Art-World Melee—Kenny Schachter Reports - Artnet News

Nobody warned me that heartbreak would ruin my relationship with Beyoncé. I had always associated music with the happiest times in my life: going to Glastonbury, seeing Madonna play at Madison Square Garden, singing along to Kylie Minogue’s greatest hits on a road trip across Australia. Just over a year ago, after my first real relationship ended unexpectedly, things changed. When I listened to the artists I loved most, I was ambushed by memories and reminded of all the love and intimacy I had lost. My usual playlists, filled with indie bops and pop girl anthems, became unbearable. I’d never noticed before, but almost every song was about love, yearning, romance and sex. Every time I pressed play, I found myself sobbing in the shower or ugly-crying in public. Tired of burning through tissues, I decided to go no contact with music. In fact, I was determined to avoid the topic of love at all costs. You would be surprised how much that limits what you can do, because, to paraphrase Hugh Grant in Love Actually, love is – unfortunately – all around.

galerie patrick seguin brings prouvé’s 6×6 house to parisFor this year’s Design Miami. Paris, Galerie Patrick Seguin presents Jean Prouvé’s 6×6 Demountable House (1944) in the garden of the Hôtel de Maisons, as part of Design at Large. Originally conceived as emergency housing for families displaced by World War II, the prefabricated structure reflects Prouvé’s approach to industrialized construction and combines a lightweight steel frame with standardized wooden panels. For the Paris presentation, the gallery reinterprets the interior of the residence as a space inspired by the chashitsu, the traditional Japanese tea pavilion, bringing Prouvé’s architectural principles into dialogue with Japanese culture.all images © Galerie Patrick Seguina demountable house designed for postwar reconstructionProuvé developed the 6×6 Demountable House in response to an urgent housing shortage in France at the end of World War II. Commissioned to design temporary homes for displaced families in Lorraine and Franche-Comté, he sought a construction system that could be manufactured economically, assembled quickly, and dismantled for relocation when necessary.

The exhibition shares two new sections of the public art mural on view for the first time, featuring moments from an era of collective action that still resonates today.
