cinema l Julianne Moore to receive the 2026 Women In Motion Award from Kering and Festival de Cannes

Kering and the Festival de Cannes will present the 2026 Women In Motion Award to Academy Award, Emmy, Golden Globe and BAFTA winning actress Julianne Moore at the official Women In Motion Awards ceremony, held as part of the Festival. The Award, presented in Cannes since 2015, celebrates female artists whose careers and commitment have advanced the role of women both in cinema and in society.

Julianne Moore is widely recognized as one of the most accomplished and multifaceted actresses of her generation. She is also celebrated for championing women’s voices and diversity in the film industry, and for advocating greater representation and equality, values that lie at the heart of the Women In Motion program. Beyond her work on screen, she is deeply committed to social causes, including as founding chair of Everytown for Gun Safety’s Creative Council, where she advocates for ending gun violence in America.

“Julianne Moore fully embodies the spirit of Women In Motion. Through the consistency of her artistic choices, the depth and complexity she brings to her performances, and her longstanding dedication to advancing meaningful representation both on and off screen, she has helped redefine what it means to be a leading woman in cinema. Her career and her commitment clearly mirror the values Women In Motion has championed since its inception.”

François-Henri Pinault, Chairman of Kering

“I’m genuinely grateful for this recognition from Kering and the Festival de Cannes. Being part of Women In Motion’s legacy is incredibly meaningful to me. I’ve always believed that visibility matters, that the stories we choose to tell can widen the space for women, and for a richer diversity of voices, both on screen and behind the camera. Continuing to work together to amplify female and diverse voices and to support the next generation of creators helps build a cinema that is more open, more representative, while driving real change.”

Julianne Moore

"Julianne Moore does not use cinema to reassure. For forty years, she has chosen characters who destabilize, who suffer without resolution, who refuse easy sympathy and in doing so, she has claimed territory on screen that did not exist before she walked into it. The Women in Motion Award recognizes not only what she has achieved, but what she has made possible for every actress who comes after her."

Iris Knobloch, President of the Festival de Cannes

“Julianne Moore is one of the great actresses of contemporary cinema. Across an uncompromising and richly diverse filmography, she has built her work with remarkable intelligence and patience, delivering performances of rare emotional precision. Working with some of the most important filmmakers of our time, she brings to each role a profound sensitivity, an extraordinary sense of nuance, and a fearless engagement with complex characters. Film after film, she has portrayed women in all their strength, contradictions, and freedom, leaving an indelible mark on the history of cinema.”

Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate of the Festival de Cannes

Both Awards will be presented during the official Women In Motion Awards ceremony on May 17th,

For the 61st edition of La Biennale di Venezia, Dries Verhoeven, in collaboration with curator Rieke Vos, presents The Fortress: a work that takes the contradictions of the Biennale itself as its point of departure. According to Verhoeven and Vos, the Giardini della Biennale, with its thirty national pavilions, reflects a world order from a bygone era, one in which former Western superpowers still take center stage. Countries that in reality are fortifying their borders and rearming stand side by side here, with open doors and in apparent harmony. In this sense, the Giardini is a site of nostalgic wishful thinking—the park sustains the image of an enlightened tradition and a hopeful shared future.

Dries Verhoeven - The Fortress La Biennale di Venezia - ph. Willem Popelier

The Fortress addresses self-preservation and protectionism in the face of profound geopolitical uncertainty. The Dutch Rietveld Pavilion, built in the optimistic aftermath of the Second World War, has historically embodied ideals of transparency and progress. Modernist architecture functioned as a spatial expression of democratic openness. Verhoeven’s intervention destabilises this legacy. At fixed intervals throughout the day, the pavilion performs a transformation that symbolically reverses its founding principles. Once a group of visitors has entered the building, steel shutters gradually close across its glass façades. Rattling and grinding, the modernist monument closes itself off from the outside world.

Inside, this steel veil dims the light of the sun-drenched space. What was once bright, transparent and accessible becomes dark and withdrawn. Performers gradually distance themselves from the audience, as if the darkness itself is taking hold. As the symbolic end of the enlightened era approaches, the work suggests that irrational impulses are gaining the upper hand. First comes despair, followed by desolation.

The Biennale takes place from 9 May to 22 November, with a preview opening for invited guests from 5 to 8 May.

From Wednesday to Sunday, the Dutch Pavilion is accessible at 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00.

On Tuesdays, the work is presented as a closed sculpture.

art l Printemps des Art de Monte Carlo, opening weekend

Grand opening of the festival, a pleasant two hours evening, started with creation of Marc Monet, framed by two Stravinsky etudes (QUATRE ÉTUDES POUR ORCHESTRE, TROIS PIÈCES POUR QUATUOR À CORDES), followed by a conference, part of the Printemps des Art educational series. The provocative and jagged rhythm of melody narrative, as if inherited from Godard's stylistic tricks and filled with a questioning of the modern society, in the spirit of Céline's prose, resoundingly, like The Rite of Spring, evoked an emotional outburst from the Monte Carlo audience.

As if continuing the canons of Diaghilev's avant-garde, which found refuge precisely at the Hotel de Paris in Monaco and far from snowy St. Petersburg, Marc Monet provoked a mixed reaction from the evening's audience, but few were indifferent. Having concluded the magical evening with a half-hour of Debussy, the festival audience was left in anticipation of the following evenings of the spring marathon, perhaps strolling past the monument to the famous impresario opposite the Monte Carlo Opera.

art l Closing this week : Joseph Cornell’s Studio Re-Created  by Wes Anderson in Gagosian Paris

Gagosian is pleased to announce The House on Utopia Parkway: Joseph Cornell’s Studio Re-Created by Wes Anderson, an exhibition conceived by curator Jasper Sharp and the acclaimed American filmmaker. Opening December 16, 2025, it brings the artist’s New York studio to the heart of Paris, transforming the storefront gallery at 9 rue de Castiglione into a meticulously staged tableau—part time capsule, part life-size shadow box—for the first solo presentation of Cornell’s work in Paris in more than three decades.

Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) could not draw, paint, or sculpt, and received no formal art education, yet he produced one of the most original and extraordinary bodies of work of any artist in the twentieth century. Though he never left the United States, the city of Paris lived vividly in his imagination. He wandered its streets through postcards, guidebooks, and conversations with his friend Marcel Duchamp, and dedicated dozens of artworks to its poets, palaces, and historical protagonists. In the modest family home on Utopia Parkway in Queens, New York, that he shared with his mother and brother, he worked in a basement studio lined with shelves of whitewashed shoeboxes and tins filled with objects gathered during his forays through Manhattan bookstores, antique shops, and neighborhood dime stores. He referred to this collection of prints, feathers, maps, marbles, toys, seashells, and other ephemera as his “spare parts department.” It provided the raw materials for intricate collages, assemblages, and shadow boxes that would influence generations of artists—from Yayoi Kusama, Robert Rauschenberg, Betye Saar, Carolee Schneemann, and Andy Warhol to many working today.

This exhibition—conceived by curator Jasper Sharp and the acclaimed American filmmaker Wes Anderson—brings Joseph Cornell’s New York studio to the heart of Paris for the first solo presentation of his work in the city in more than four decades.

literature l * Jack Goldstein * Bourgeois Coldness * , After8 bookstore events Thursday, March 12 // 7PM Jack Goldstein. All Day Night Sky with Alexander Dumbadze and François Aubart Very happy to host Alexander Dumbadze and François Aubart, for a talk about Dumbadze’s new book, Jack Goldstein: All Day Night Sky (University of Chicago Press, 2026).

A poignant account of the life and work of legendary artist Jack Goldstein, Dumbadze’s book examines his career, artistic formation, and enduring legacy through a blend of biography, theoretical reflection, and archival research. Moving chronologically through key moments in Goldstein’s life and practice, the book offers a nuanced portrait of a significant artist while exploring broader questions about images, artistic subjectivity, and belief in art.

Dumbadze and Aubart are both well-versed in the artistic experiments of the 1970s and 1980s in the US, and the vicissitudes of their actors – so expect the unexpected, even if you’re watching pirate copies of Goldstein’s movies in a loop on your tablet screen.

fashion l MoMu celebrates 40 years of the Antwerp Six with a unique exhibition in 2026

In 2026, MoMu will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the international breakthrough of the Antwerp Six. This will be the first time that a major exhibition is devoted to these six iconic fashion designers.

The exhibition highlights the unique trajectory that connects these six exceptional designers. It began with their study at the fashion department at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and resulted in six highly influential solo careers. In 1986, Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene and Marina Yee put Antwerp on the fashion map when they each presented their own collections at the British Designer Show in London. This led to their international breakthrough and established the City of Antwerp as a capital of fashion. Their unique designs continue to influence international fashion today.

The Antwerp Six helped shape recent fashion history. We are immensely proud that we can bring the work of these six iconic designers together for a unique, in-depth view of their legacy and their influence. Kaat Debo, MoMu Director

Exhibition under the lead of Guest curator: Geert Bruloot Curators MoMu: Romy Cockx, Kaat Debo

cinema l Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola

In September 2026, the Château de Versailles will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette through an exhibition presented at the Petit Trianon, a place intimately linked to the queen and the setting for numerous scenes of the film. Now a cult classic, Marie Antoinette profoundly renewed the image of the last queen, helping to shape a cultural icon blending history, modernity and pop imagination. Awarded the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 2007, Sofia Coppola’s distinctive aesthetic —combining historical rigour, contemporary boldness and pastel refinement — gave rise to a true “Marie Antoinette style”, whose influence is still felt in fashion, design and photography.

Deployed at the heart of the Trianon estate, the exhibition will invite visitors behind the scenes of this cinematic creation: original costumes by Milena Canonero, filming accessories, storyboards, annotated scripts, set photographs and set design sketches. Screenings will allow visitors to revisit sequences filmed in the very rooms where they were shot, offering a unique immersive experience in which the historic space and its cinematic reinterpretation resonate with one another.

cinema l Xiu Xiu performance tribute to David Lynch at Cinema Palace, Brussels Legendary cult band performs reinterpretation/tribute to macabre masterpiece

For more than twenty years now, Xiu Xiu (US) (pronounced: Shoo-Shoo) has been known for their whimsical, unpredictable and consistently brilliant output. They have released more than 15 albums, praised by The New Yorker, The Wire and The Guardian.

Through their music, the band explores the complexity of themes like love, sex, death and injustice. Xiu Xiu – now reduced to the duo Jamie Stewart and Angela Seo – has collaborated with Liz Harris (Grouper), Chelsea Wolfe, Japanese noisemaster Merzbow and Devendra Banhart, amongst others.

Stewart – the only permanent original member – has a fierce admiration for filmmaker David Lynch: “Without him, I would never have become an artist. My entire life, I have relied on him to continue to guide me. His uncompromising search for emotional extremes, imagination, exploration, meaning and fierce courage has always been my benchmark for what art can be.”

In 2015, Stewart joined forces with composer Lawrence English as HEXA. Together, at Lynch’s invitation, they created a live soundtrack for his Factory Photographs. A year later, with the blessing of Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, they released the LP Plays the Music of Twin Peaks, which immediately achieved cult status. Pitchfork: “It’s one of their most haunting and beautiful LPs.”

After Lynch’s untimely death in 2025, the band received the request to resurrect their Twin Peaks tribute. But instead of repeating themselves, they wanted to take a deeper dive by radically reimagining a work from Lynch’s oeuvre. The tribute became …

Xiu Xiu x Eraserhead (David Lynch)

The original score by Alan Splet and Lynch served as a haunting beacon, but Xiu Xiu turned it into a unique sound hallucination, combining field recordings, homemade instruments, organ, modular synths, vocals, pocket torches, electrical static and musique concrète.

The duo immerses itself in a nightmarish world full of sexual tension, industrial menace and bizarre lunar madness. The associated visuals – not a copy of the film as such – explore the disturbing, surreal and emotionally raw universe of Lynch’s debut. The result is a living video installation meets a cinematographic nightmare.

For those wanting to dive deeper into the wonderful world of Xiu Xiu, the fanzine Ready to Die for Xiu Xiu is a great place to start. Jamie Stewart: "Ready to Die for Xiu Xiu makes me insane. Being presented with a work by someone who has put so much care, emotion, intellectual love, skill and remarkable attention to detail into that very thing which I am at odds to do opens up so much feeling for me, and such a wide range of feeling, that I am physically overwhelmed by the honour."

fashion l Dior haute couture show installation at the Musée Rodin

From Tuesday, January 27 explore the installation designed for the Dior haute couture show, presented in the heart of the Sculpture Garden at the Musée Rodin.

Grammaire des Formes presents an encounter between the world of internationally renowned Kenyan ceramicist Magdalene Odundo – born in 1950 – and Jonathan Anderson's first haute couture collection set in dialogue with Christian Dior's emblematic creations.

Notably inspired by the world of Magdalene Odundo, Jonathan Anderson's first haute couture collection initiates a conversation between couture and sculpture. Grammaire des Formes presents fifteen silhouettes from Jonathan Anderson's new line alongside seven works by Magdalene Odundo and nine historical designs by Christian Dior. 

Handcrafting ceramic sculptures, Magdalene Odundo has developed a formal language that echoes the rhythms of the human body while recalling the ancestral traditions of pottery. With their generous curves and skilfully polished surfaces, her oeuvre distils centuries of knowledge into forms that are both intimate and monumental.

Mediators are present in the exhibition space to guide you through the discovery of the installation.

art l Biennale Arte 2026, 61st International Art Exhibition

The 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia – In Minor Keys by Koyo Kouoh – will run from Saturday 9 May to Sunday 22 November 2026 (preview 6, 7, 8 May) at the Giardini and the Arsenale venues, and in various locations around Venice.

books l discussion around the publication of 'Violent America – The Films (1946–1964) ' A conversation with Philippe-Alain Michaud, Jonathan Pouthier, and Enrico Camporesi, respectively curator and curatorial staff of the Film Department at the Centre Pompidou, to discuss the recent publication by Macula of the book Violent America – The Films (1946–1964) – the French edition of a work conceived by curator and critic Lawrence Alloway (1926–1990). Using a selection of Westerns, film noirs, and war films, the book explores violence, its representation, and its institutionalization in the United States.

music l Between piano and light: Vanessa Wagner performs Philip Glass's Études within a scenography by Collectif Scale.

The result of a collaboration between pianist Vanessa Wagner and Collectif Scale, Figures of Glass is a hybrid project that explores the visual imagery of Philip Glass's music. To mark her recording of the complete Études for piano, the pianist has taken on a cornerstone of the 21st-century repertoire. She now unfolds the composer's emotional and colorful discourse alongside Collectif Scale, who transform the space with their latest installation. Figures of Glass is a device that connects the piano and light, establishing a dialogue between the score and the scenography. For the first time in Paris, this innovative creation immerses the audience in the hypnotic and poetic world of Philip Glass.

music l Xiu Xiu DJ Set + Signing of the new covers album

Celebrate Xiu Xiu's new covers album 'Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu Vol. 1' with legendary Rough Trade Berlin at the end of January. Jamie and Angela will be DJing and signing copies of their new album afterwards.

On Xiu Xiu’s new covers album, 'Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu Vol. 1', Jamie Stewart and Angela Seo pay homage to songs that have profoundly influenced them as music lovers and songwriters. This collection, taken from the band’s ongoing Bandcamp subscription series, 'Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu', features tracks previously exclusive to Bandcamp, now available on vinyl and streaming for the first time.

The album showcases Xiu Xiu's unique interpretations of iconic songs such as "Psycho Killer” (Talking Heads), “In Dreams” (Roy Orbison), “Some Things Last A Long Time” (Daniel Johnston), “I Put a Spell on You” (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) and many more. These renditions are a heartfelt "thank you" to the original compositions, while simultaneously serving as a deep dive into the musicality and greatness of these influential works.

art l Pasolini Factory by Sylvain Creuzevault following on from his production of Petroleum presented earlier at the Odéon

January 28–31, 2026

The Pasolini Factory is an invitation extended to Sylvain Creuzevault to open up his Pasolini world to the public. The director, along with his company, offers a spontaneous artistic gesture inspired by Petroleum.

Sylvain Creuzevault works by continent. After several years of engaging with Dostoevsky, the director continued his genealogical journey by exploring the multifaceted writings of Pasolini.

Having been committed since 2024 to exploring the diversity of the poet's writings, and following on from his production of Petroleum presented a few weeks earlier at the Odéon, Sylvain Creuzevault has chosen, for Fabrique Pasolini, to focus on certain passages from Pasolini's last, unfinished novel, performed by actors from the production and contextualized by specialists in Pasolini's work.

On stage, as if by spontaneous and intuitive strokes in what is not a staged performance, the writing of a few tales from Pasolini's inexhaustible and final writing project, Petroleum, is embodied simultaneously with Italian social life of the 1970s, captured through Pasolini's journalistic essays found in Corsair Writings or Lutheran Letters. The writer's eye, observing the capitalist society of his time, has lost none of its acuity fifty years later, and Sylvain Creuzevault inscribes this visionary reality in the snapshot of the actors' bodies.

Program:

Wednesday, January 28 at 7 p.m.: Note 41: Buying a Slave, based on Petroleum with Boutaïna El Fekkak and Anne-Violaine Houcke

Thursday, January 29 at 7 p.m.: Note 101: The Story of a Father and His Two Daughters, based on Petroleum with Sharif Andoura

Friday, January 30 at 7 p.m.: Note 102a: The Story of a Cosmic Flight, based on Petroleum with Pierre-Félix Gravière and Hervé Joubert-Laurencin

Saturday, January 31 at 2 p.m.: Note 103: The Story of the Attacks, based on Petroleum with Arthur Igual and Hervé Joubert-Laurencin

fashion l celebrating the launch of CODE Magazine at Dover Street Market Paris. On the occasion of Couture Fashion Week, Dover Street Market Paris presents THE QUANTI·VERSE, celebrating the launch of CODE Magazine’s fourth print issue.

The evening opens with an audiovisual magazine reading by Natalie Mariko and Dylan Van Roost, followed by a live performance by Ouri and a closing DJ set from Paris‑based artist Erwan Sene.

This new issue of CODE stems from a year‑long investigation into the quantum universe—a heady look at simultaneity and the spooky action we exert on each other across time and distance. The opening reading, presented by managing editor Natalie Mariko with audiovisual artist Dylan Van Roost, unfolds as an immersive compilation of selected excerpts.

It is followed by a cello and vocal live set by Ouri, a Canadian musician born in French Guiana whose work moves between orchestral composition and electronic music. A producer, performer, DJ, and multi‑instrumentalist, she draws on her classical training to craft compositions balancing emotional depth with bold rhythmic expression.

The evening concludes with a DJ set by Erwan Sene, a Paris‑based sculptural artist and musician. He released his debut album JUnQ on PAN in 2023 and has performed at Berghain, Nuits Sonores, and Kanal – Centre Pompidou. He has also composed for contemporary dance and ballet, most recently Drip Techie at the Royal Danish Playhouse in Copenhagen.

Due to limited capacity, entry will be granted on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

architecture l Exposition 'Concours Beaubourg 1971 . Une mutation de l'architecture'.

Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Gianfranco Franchini (later Piano + Rogers Architects) and Ove Arup & Partners, “Project for the competition to design the Centre Beaubourg” (now the Centre Pompidou), detail of the façade facing the square with audiovisual screens for information, June 1971, Historical Archives of the Politecnico di Milano (courtesy Renzo Piano and Ruth Rogers)

In July 1971, the jury of the international architectural competition for the future Centre Pompidou, chaired by the architect and designer Jean Prouvé, awarded the prize to the project submitted by the team of Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Gianfranco Franchini, and the engineers of Ove Arup & Partners.

The 681 submissions presented crystallize the main movements that animated architecture at the time: conservatives of the fine arts tradition, defenders of expressionism, emissaries of modernism, proponents of post-war megastructures, young representatives of the avant-garde…

Thanks to some 100 archival documents, many of them previously unpublished, from the collections of the Centre Pompidou and the archives of the Academy of Architecture (plans, drawings, photographs, models, etc.), the exhibition revisits this rich and varied saga and highlights the lasting impact of the "Beaubourg competition" on the architectural discipline and the profession of architect.

art l talk : Thierry De Mey and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker For Rosas danst Rosas (1983), the choreography and music developed simultaneously. While the dancers rehearsed on the first floor, Thierry De Mey composed the music in the basement of the studio on Brabantstraat in Brussels. De Keersmaeker often calls De Mey her "artistic dealer," as he introduced the young choreographer to a wide range of music, films, and literary works. In 1997, De Mey adapted Rosas danst Rosas for camera, resulting in an innovative dance film that remains a benchmark today. Join Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Thierry De Mey for a conversation about the Brussels art scene of the 1980s, what inspired them, how Rosas danst Rosas came into being, and how it influenced their careers. The conversation will be followed by a screening of the film Rosas danst Rosas.
