cLosure
closing of the paris pinacothèque
I
t’s been official since 12 February: the Paris Pi-
nacothèque is closing its doors on Place de la
Madeleine.
The establishment, in receivership since the start
of November, has encountered difficulties due to
a variety of causes: tepid visitor rates in recent
years, all the more affected by the attacks in Paris
in 2015. The institution is nevertheless looking for
new projects, and hopes to open two new sites in
the next three to four years: one first site dedi-
cated to contemporary art, the other to sculpture
and tribal arts, on “economically more bearable”
premises, declared the Pinacothèque’s president
and founder Marc Restellini. The establishment is
setting its sights overseas, namely in Asia and the
Near East. The closure is more an “act of mana-
gement” than a bankruptcy, reassures Marc Res-
tellini, who offers a disturbing assessment of the
situation in France to
The Art Newspaper: “As a
private museum, we provide a public service, but
we face unfair competition compared to other
museums that do not pay 10 % VAT on ticket
sales or rent or insurance for works guaranteed
by the State. There is work to be done in France
on this issue of general interest. There should be
more opportunities for setting up projects. The
private realm contributes a great deal.”
While the institution’s financial difficulties were
no secret, the news has still produced the effect
of a small electric shock. The biggest jolt is the
cancellation of the photo exhibition “Karl Lager-
feld, a Visual Journey”, initially scheduled to run
until 20 March, which thus closed on Monday at
6 p.m.

ccording to Artnexus, the Museu de Arte
Moderna (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro has ap-
pointed a new visual arts curator: Fernando
Cocchiarale.
This philosophy and aesthetics professor at the
Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro
has also notched up over twenty years of tea-
ching experience at the Visual Arts School in Par-
que Lage.
A former curator of the cultural programme “Ru-
mos: Itaú Cultural”, the curating career of Fernan-
do Cocchiarale is now taking a new turn.

new edition of the wikipedia edit-
a-tHon at the moma
t
he third edition of the Wikipedia EDIT-A-THON
will be taking place on 5 March, in hope that it
will achieve the same success as its previous edi-
tions. It will be held at the Dorothy and Lewis B.
Cullman Education and Research Building of the
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), in New York.
The EDIT-A-THON lasts one day and aims to create
more Wikipedia pages dedicated to female ar-
tists and feminist artistic movements. During the
previous edition, over 330 articles were added to
Wikipedia by 1,500 volunteers. This year, the edi-
tion will include discussions on child protection
as well as tutorial sessions on publishing articles
on Wikipedia. The edition is being organised in
partnership with the association Art + Feminism —
with already a Wikipedia workshop scheduled at
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on 16 Fe-
bruary.
According to Art + Feminism, other similar events
will be taking place in 2016, at nearly 100 sites in-
cluding the Tate Britain, the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art, Yale University, the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, the Museo Universitario Arte
Contemporàneo in Mexico, and the Archives Na-
tionales in Paris.

announcement
the serpentine gallery reveals the architect of its 2016 architecture pavilion
architects Yona Friedman, Asif Khan, Barkow Leibinger, and Kunlé Adeyemi have
been commissioned to produce summerhouses. The latter are to be inspired
from the classically styled Queen Caroline's Temple, constructed in 1734.
Co-director of the Serpentine Gallery Julia Peyton-Jones, made the following
declaration in what is her last year at the head of the institution: “After fifteen
years, the pavilion program has expanded. It now comprises five structures, each
designed by an architect of international renown, aged between thirty-six and
ninety-three.”
t
he Serpentine Gallery has announced that it has se-
lected five architects this year — instead of the usual
one — for its yearly exhibition dedicated to architecture.
But as is the case every year, the exhibition will be
organised around the pavilion constructed in the
Kensington Gardens. For this new edition, the se-
lection has gone to architect Bjarke Ingels and his
agency Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). At the same time,
