2024 aura été une année charnière pour le Centre Pompidou. Avec 3,2 millions de visiteurs dans ses entrailles et une hausse de 22 % sur l’année précédente, Beaubourg tire sa révérence avant sa fermeture temporaire.  Brancusi, star du début d’année On vous avait prévenu : de 2025 à 2030, le Centre Pompidou se refait une beauté, et l’Atelier Brancusi, situé à quelques pas, ne fera pas fait exception. Avant de dire bye-bye un certain temps aux sculptures de l’artiste roumain, Beaubourg lui a rendu un dernier hommage avec une expo XXL alignant près de 200 sculptures, photos, dessins, films et documents d’archives. La plus grande rétrospective française jamais consacrée à ce monument de la sculpture européenne dont les courbes et les lignes épurées ont contribué à jeter les bases du minimalisme. Résultat, l’exposition Brancusi a scotché plus de 390 000 visiteurs jusqu’à sa clôture en juillet. Avec près de 5 000 entrées par jour, cette rétrospective a imposé le maître du minimalisme comme une figure incontournable de l’art moderne. Une expérience qui a fait vibrer autant qu’elle a épuré. La BD dans toutes ses facettes Si le Centre Pompidou a déjà ouvert les espaces de sa bibliothèque (la BPI) ou de son foyer à divers auteurs de BD, d’Art Spiegelman à Franquin, c’est la première fois que le centre d’art consacrait un événement d’envergure au 9e art dans ses galeries. Pour l’occasion, le musée n'a fait pas les choses à moitié et lui a déroulé le tapis rouge du niveau -1 jusqu’a

The third and final day of Electric Zoo 2017 brought sunny skies, comfortable dancing temperatures and plenty of memorable moments from the heavy bass drops of Sub Focus to the 138-bpm, ’90s-style trance of Armin van Buuren. Even with a massive crowd and some mud from the previous day's rain, the last day of the 6th Boro—as this year was themed—turned upside down, inside out and grooved to the endless beats. Here are the five best things we saw. RECOMMENDED: Full Guide to Electric Zoo 2017 1. The massive NYC-themed stages  Photograph: Courtesy aLIVE Coverage on behalf of ElectricZooFestival.com This year’s scale was shocking—the island is obviously still the same size, but the stages were not. After nine years of production, Made Events and Electric Zoo’s creative teams designed their most daring aesthetic to date. Each stage brought ravers face-to-face with imaginative, wild, large-scale scenes worthy of the festival’s magnitude. 2. Sunday's Main Stage headliners “New York! Let me hear you! Put your hands up!” was the rallying cry we could hear throughout the weekend from the Main Stage—dubbed Elephant’s Roar—as artists like NGHTMRE and Yellow Claw accented the Manhattan skyline with hardstyle heavy beats. EDM has many genres and caters to a broad audience, and even with newer styles constantly popping up, Electric Zoo has found success in sticking to its deep bass roots. Artists like Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz who hail from ’90s desert raves and warehouse

Even with dark skies and cold downpours, the ninth year of Electric Zoo at Randalls Island drew thousands of electronic-music fans ready to dance away the remaining hours of the summer music festival season. With a third day to look forward to on Sunday, here are the best things we danced to so far. RECOMMENDED: Full Guide to Electric Zoo 2017 1. REZZ Photograph: Courtesy aLIVE Coverage on behalf of ElectricZooFestival.com Canadian producer-DJ Isabelle Rezazadeh is relative newcomer but her sound has already won over plenty of tough of critics: for one, deadmau5, who signed her to his mau5trap label. At Electric Zoo, REZZ conquered the Riverside Stage with a fearless approach full of risky mashups. As to be expected, her cult-like following went nuts for it. 2. Danny Tenaglia Photograph: Courtesy aLIVE Coverage on behalf of ElectricZooFestival.com Tenaglia, a Grammy-nominated producer and veteran of the New York underground music scene, launched into a two-and-a-half-hour set of straight-up techno at the festival's Awakenings Tent. While surrounding stages cranked up the wubby dubstep, Tenaglia matched the gloomy weather with a fittingly cavernous, deep sound. 3. Zedd   Photograph: Courtesy aLIVE Coverage on behalf of ElectricZooFestival.com Anton Zaslavski, also known as Zedd, is one of the most recognizable names in EDM so it was appropriate to find him at the Main Stage for yet another year. Playing before Above & Beyond, the German producer-DJ spun a string of his
