Instructions for the treasure hunt read, “Throughout the course of 48 hours (24-25 October), visitors are invited to search for 20 works by 20 artists [represented by Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin] which are concealed in the empty nave of the Grand Palais. The rules are simple: If you find a work in the Grand Palais, you will leave with the work.”

Each session will last a maximum of 50 minutes and COVID-19 safety precautions will be followed. There is a 500 person per time slot limit and facial coverings will be required.

“Do keep in mind that we only had 13 days to organize this. I am hugely grateful to my artists for their commitment and belief in this wild project,” Emmanuel Perrotin told The Art Newspaper. “This is a rare moment. I love the idea of doing this as a gift to the city of Paris, as a moment of solidarity and joy.”

The scavenger hunt is scheduled for October 24th and admission is free with an advance reservation.

A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
