Like other entries in the series, viewers are invited to step inside a small mirrored room filled with Kusama’s whimsical, often polka-dotted sculptures, in this case, her signature yellow and black pumpkins. The effect is a kaleidoscopic sea of sculptures stretching into oblivion—very selfie-friendly.

AMSTERDAM.- On 17 August 2024 Nazif Lopulissa will exhibit his work at Museum Perron Oost, as the second of our four part exhibition series 'Fluxus Corporum'. Nazif Lopulissa (1991) makes work inspired by the unwritten rules of play. Constructed from a variety of media – sculpture, painting and photography – Lopulissa’s works explore the dualities which both bind us and open up new possibilities for relating to ourselves and our environments. For this exhibition at Museum Perron Oost, Nazif Lopulissa presents a series of paintings made from bleach and oil. Exploring the role of light as a guiding force and catalyst for growth, direction and exchange, Lopulissa explores themes of migration, displacement, and adaptation.

It was a Night at the Museum for special NBC Olympic correspondent Snoop Dogg, and a history lesson unlike most. As the 2024 Summer Olympic Games continue in Paris, Snoop was given a private, after-hours tour of the Louvre, home to some of the world’s finest art, as seen in a Thursday, August 1, 2024, promo clip on TikTok by NBC Olympics. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper was guided through the grandiose empty wings to do some “snooping around,” avoiding the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the museum daily.
