In Paul
Simon's legendary album Graceland, you can easily feel the interactions
from Simon's elapse time in South Africa and the discoveries he did there.
Under African Skies, which documents Simon's comeback to South Africa
to celebrate Graceland's 25th anniversary, is not only about
the Paul Simon gig in the country. It also includes some worthy footage from old
archives as well as the political backdrop in South Africa from the time the
album was recorded.
He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
