Oh, the cutthroat world of contemporary art in France!
Nicolas Bourriaud, the first co-director of Palais de Tokyo, curator at Tate Modern, etc, has been unceremoniously fired from the direction of the Beaux-Arts by the Minister of culture. Rumor has it that the unprecedented arbitrary decision has no other ground than nepotism, and the French art world is abuzz and shocked.
Picture from a vernissage at Palais de Tokyo this year.
