What's going on with 2024's box office? This week, we looked into why big blockbuster releases like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga have underperformed with cinema-goers (spoiler: streaming services and possible prequel fatigue have a lot to answer for). It's a worrying trend, but still, the range of fantastic films shown at last week's Cannes festival prove cinema is far from dead! We all just need to go more - and if it's recommendations you need, it's recommendations we've got.

It makes sense that the founder of a new cheese museum in Paris would have cheese as his profile picture on Whatsapp. The colour of Cantaloupe, cheesemaker Pierre Brisson tells me it's Mimolette - a strong cheese traditionally produced in Lille that he'd carefully carved into a flower. "It's a technique to make the cheese more appealing," Brisson says. Lovely, but let's be honest: when it comes to cheese, most people don't need any floral flourishes to kickstart their salivary glands. In fact, the uglier and stinkier the better. Whether grated, melted, baked, sliced or slabbed on a board, Fran...

It’s the rarest album on earth, only listened to by a handful of people. But now, the public is going to get the chance to finally give it a spin. Only snag – you'll have to shell out for a ticket to Australia. The Australian island of Tasmania, to be precise. The sole copy of Wu-Tang Clan's 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin' will be played to the public for the first time at The Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Hobart. The institution will be holding limited listening events as part of its upcoming exhibition, Namedropping, during which visitors can experience a curated 36-minute mix from the...

The Philippe Bettan Gallery in Lyon, France has opened a new exhibition featuring the works of young Iranian painter Elham Etemadi, curated by artistic director Aida Mojallal. Etemadi, who has exhibited her art in galleries around the world, finds her paintings subconsciously influenced by the changes and events in her homeland. "In my works, the subconscious reveals itself through symbols, layered techniques, compositions where sometimes women take the central role," she explains. "This issue has not always been directly and explicitly present in my works, but I cannot say it has not had an i...

The exterior of the Canada pavilion at the Venice Biennale is draped with hundreds of blue-beaded strings suspended from the roof lintels and cascading down the brickwork walls. Inside are thousands more in sunset hues veiling the pavilion interior. The strings are threaded with minute seed beads - tiny objects that carry a weighty history. Artist Kapwani Kiwanga explores the pivotal role of these Murano-made glass beads in the history of global trade and their “complex legacy”. But for an installation set in Venice, there is surprisingly little acknowledgement of the significance of seed bead...

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...

British artist Damien Hirst is once again accused of falsifying the age of his artworks. An investigation by The Guardian has claimed that at least 1,000 of the 10,000 paintings used in Hirst’s 2022 project ‘The Currency’ were created at a later date than originally suggested. In 2022, Hirst made headlines with ‘The Currency’, an experimental art project where the artist sold 10,000 of his paintings to buyers who could choose whether they would rather receive the works in physical or NFT form. Any paintings that were bought in NFT form were then burnt at an event held in October 2022. In total...

The grounds of the Fondation Carmignac are a unique mix of art and nature. Situated on the southern French island of Porquerolles, it’s home to some amazing sculptures celebrating the feminine form. Now, within the walls of its Villa, women are the centrepiece of its latest exhibition. Curated by Alona Pardo, ‘The Infinite Woman’ combines works from the Carmignac collection with the work of more than 60 pioneering artists. From the past to the present and the future, visions of myths and magic are mixed with complex or surreal depictions of sorcery and sexuality. But that's not all by any mean...

When planning a city break, the modern traveler may consider a number of factors. Are the hotels top-notch? Will there be any sunshine? Are there good places to grab a delicious bite? And importantly, what is there to do around town? Art, style, and architecture massively affect our decisions on where we go; hence why new museums, galleries, and exhibitions are constantly vying for visitors in Europe’s major cities. In fact, cultural tourism constitutes around 40% of all European tourism. But have you ever wondered which city tops the list for art aficionados seeking to satisfy their cultural ...

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...
