\n\tGood Morning!<\/p>\n
SACKED<\/strong>.\u00a0Guillaume Cerutti<\/strong>\u00a0has been dismissed from his plush position as president of the\u00a0Pinault Collection<\/strong>, with its museums in Paris and Venice, according to a report by\u00a0Glitz.<\/em>\u00a0The\u00a0Art Newspaper<\/em>\u00a0later confirmed he is stepping down. The surprising departure comes only 13 months after the former\u00a0Christie\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0chief executive officer moved to Paris from London for the job of leading French billionaire\u00a0Francois Pinault<\/strong>\u2019s massive private collection. In the interim, the 89-year-old Pinault, despite reported health issues, will do Cerutti\u2019s job himself. No explanation has been given for Cerutti\u2019s exit. At 60, Cerutti still chairs the boards of Christie\u2019s and the Stade Rennais Football Club, which, along with the luxury goods conglomerate\u00a0Kering<\/strong>, are all owned by Pinault\u2019s holding company\u00a0Art\u00e9mis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n TIP OF THE HAT<\/strong>. One of\u00a0Napoleon Bonaparte<\/strong>\u2019s rare, unmistakable two-cornered hats will be displayed at the\u00a0Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0in Chantilly, France, after it went unnoticed and forgotten in museum storage for over a century, reports\u00a0Le Monde and AFP<\/em>. When curator\u00a0Jean-Guillaume Parich<\/strong>\u00a0did a bit of digging for an exhibit about Napoleon\u2019s sister and queen of Naples, Caroline Murat<\/strong>, he discovered the black felt, bicorn hat, and was able to piece together its impeccable provenance. Newly restored and authenticated, the hat is the centerpiece of the Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9\u2019s Murat exhibition, from June 6 to Oct. 4,\u00a0and is also one of only four of Napoleon\u2019s signature hats that the disgraced emperor took with him when exiled to St. Helena Island from 1815 until he died in 1821. In his will, Napoleon left the very same hat to his son Aiglon, but after the latter\u2019s premature death, it was given to Napoleon\u2019s sister Caroline in 1836.<\/p>\n Bose Krishnamachari<\/strong>\u00a0resigned as director of the\u00a0Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB)<\/strong>\u00a0and from the board of trustees of the\u00a0Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF)<\/strong>, which he co-founded, following an accusation of sexual harassment by one of his subordinates, which Krishnamachari has denied.

[The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n SWAN SONG<\/strong>. When an anti-nuclear weapons arts collective known as the\u00a0SWANS<\/strong>\u00a0organized a show about the environmental and human cost of nuclear weapons since the Cold War, at\u00a0Pitzer College Art Galleries<\/strong>, Los Angeles, they didn\u2019t realize that their message would become so ominously topical, reports the\u00a0Los Angeles Times<\/em>. Weeks after the show titled\u00a0Atomic Dragons<\/em>\u00a0opened on February 7, the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran. According to the\u00a0LAT<\/em>\u2018s interviews with experts, the Gulf conflict risks triggering a long-term nuclear proliferation crisis by suggesting to some countries that nuclear weapons are needed to secure their sovereignty. SWAN stands for \u201cSlow War Against the Nuclear State,\u201d and the group includes artists, as well as activists, and family members of workers in the nuclear industry. \u201cMy maybe-na\u00efve hope is that the artworks help to provide an avenue into that understanding of the severity of what it means to play with the nuclear,\u201d said artist\u00a0Fiona Amundsen<\/strong>.
