PARIS — Invaders in the Petit Palais: Some 60 of the world’s most renowned street artists have been invited into the rarefied confines of a Paris institution, even if some admit it raises questions about whether they belong.

The Beaux-Arts palace on the banks of the Seine houses an illustrious selection of 19th-century painting and sculpture.

But the “We Are Here” exhibition sees the street artists infiltrate it with graffiti, murals and graphics dotted among the portraits — even adding cartoon wings to statues.

Some merge almost too well — a freshly made portrait by Tunisian artist DaBro looks perfectly at home in a cluster of solemn 19th-century street scenes until you realise it features break-dancers.

Others are more jarring, such as the pixelated alien by the French artist Invader sitting above a Monet sunset.

It is, say some of the artists, a logical step.

“Street art always has the spirit of invasion.

We always want to take over spaces that are not open to us,” said Inti, a Chilean artist who provided a huge mural.

But the exhibition has also made him question himself, he told AFP: “To enter into a closed space like this is to enter into an institution — it’s a bit counter to what we try to do outside.”

He was concerned, too, that street art has become too commercialised, undermining its rebellious spirit.

A painting by US artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who started out in street art before moving into galleries, sold for $110 million in 2017; a shredded artwork by Britain’s guerilla street artist Banksy went for $25 million in 2021.

Hush, a street artist from the north of England, agrees that art movements die when they become too accepted by the establishment.

But its ethos still challenges the elitist atmosphere of galleries, he said.

“As a working-class guy, you don’t always feel accepted in art museums. With street art, everyone feels allowed to come in,” he told AFP.

“And you can still be disruptive, you can still have fun. The good thing with being from this scene is you don’t feel like you have to say yes. It means we’re still in control.”

‘Buried underground’ 

One of the first items to strike visitors is a giant aerosol can emerging out of the ground with cartoon wings, courtesy of London-based artist D*Face.

“It represents the fact that we’ve been buried underground and often overlooked and now we’re coming up to be seen,” he said.

The timing is right, he added, with France plunged into political turmoil this week by a far-right landslide in European elections.

“Urban art is really the first global art movement. You go anywhere in the world and there is a street art community,” said D*Face.

“It’s all about inclusivity, whereas politics right now is trying to divide us.”

Also present is Shepard Fairey, aka Obey, renowned for his “Hope” posters for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

His “Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood” shows French figurehead Marianne with a blood-red tear running down her cheek, made in response to terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015.

“The thing I love about street art is that it brings people together, it’s got a generous spirit,” he said.

“Anything that makes people think about their common humanity rather than selfish protectionism is very valuable for this moment.”

But can street art maintain that political relevance if it becomes too accepted by the elite?

“We’ve been saying street art is dead since its inception and it has kept evolving,” said Hush.

“But it has come full circle. Street art was against the people who could say yes or no.” And now they say yes to us.

PARIS — Sports kit and Greek goddesses from Christian Dior vied for attention with living sculptures from Iris Van Herpen as haute couture went high concept at Paris Fashion Week on Monday.

Paying homage to the Olympics a month before the Games in Paris, Dior presented some glamorous if improbable sportswear, including gold-feather swimsuits and a red bathrobe decorated with mosaics of mirrors.

Dior’s show was held in the gardens of the Rodin Museum around works by African-American artist Faith Ringgold who died in April.

Its monumental embroideries on the theme of sport are being exhibited throughout the week.

Haute couture week features ultra-expensive, one-off bespoke clothing and comes straight after the conclusion of the menswear shows in Paris.

Schiaparelli kicked off the week with a “back to basics” approach that dispensed with some of the gimmicks like fake animal heads or the baby robot that drew a lot of attention in recent shows.

“I didn’t want a robot baby. I didn’t want anyone to talk about anything but the clothes. No tricks, no anatomy,” creative director Daniel Roseberry told reporters after the show.

“I kept coming back to this idea that no one knows how to say Schiaparelli, but everyone knows what it means,” he added.

Van Herpen’s sculptures

Also putting on a show on Monday was Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen, fresh from a blockbuster retrospective of her work in Paris this year.

She presented a unique artistic performance for her latest show: no catwalk, just five models stuck to huge canvases performing slow dances.

Once over, these “aerial sculptures” were carefully dismounted to the delight of the fashionistas.

And India’s Rahul Mishra gave a typically flamboyant display, with glittering outfits packed with rhinestones, sequins and glass — though without the usual wild colours.

“I was working on the idea of aura and you always think of colour, but the more I thought, the more I was lost. Aura is infinity, space, mystery — so black became the mood, like seeking in the darkness in space,” he told AFP.

Thirty couture shows are due before Thursday. Valentino and Fendi are absent this season, but Balenciaga and Thom Browne have joined the calendar.

Couture shows only happen in France, which strictly regulates what meets the definition.

The creations are mainly destined for red carpets, major jet-set events and royal weddings, attracting a crowd of the uber-elite who come to scout out party outfits, including Kylie Jenner and Doja Cat at Schiaparelli, and Jennifer Lopez and Korean muse Jisoo at Dior.

World Asthma Day, observed each year on the first Tuesday of May, is a global effort to spread awareness about asthma, a common respiratory condition affecting people worldwide. The day aims to inform communities about asthma management, preventionand treatment.

By highlighting the importance of understanding asthma triggers and seeking proper care, World Asthma Day encourages everyone to take steps to manage their condition effectively.

Bringing harmony to your breathing

In yoga, asthma is often viewed as a disturbance in the flow of prana (life force energy) and the balance of the air element within the body.

According to yogic philosophy, the lungs are associated with the air element and are considered the primary organ for the exchange of prana.

When the flow of prana becomes disrupted or blocked, it can manifest as respiratory issues, such as asthma.

Emotionally, asthma may be related to feelings of grief, sadness, or unresolved emotional tension.

These emotions can contribute to constriction and imbalance in the chest area where the lungs are located.

Practicing yoga and breathwork techniques can help release these emotional blockages and restore harmony to the respiratory system.

In terms of chakras, asthma is often associated with imbalances in the heart chakra (Anahata) and throat chakra (Vishuddha). The heart chakra governs emotions related to love, compassion and self-acceptance.

The throat chakra is associated with communication, self-expression and creativity. Imbalances in these chakras may contribute to difficulty expressing oneself, suppressed emotions and tension in the chest and throat, which can exacerbate asthma symptoms.

Alleviating asthma 

Pranayama is breath control and it is a fundamental part of Kundalini Yoga. According to the 3HO Foundation, the average rate of breathing for most people is 16 times per minute. When the rate of breathing increases, or if it becomes rapid and irregular, the mind also becomes disturbed and erratic.

Yoga practitioners believe that your rate of breathing and your state of mind are inseparable. When you learn how to focus your breath, you have more control over your mind, which influences mental well-being by reducing stress and calming negative responses.

Beyond mental wellness, researchers have found that mindful breathing also supports physical wellness. In controlling your breath, you can help strengthen the immune system and support the body’s response to disease. This is particularly important when it comes to respiratory health.

Yoga — A Remedy to Respiratory Illness by Dr Sripriya Krishnan states: “that many people with serious respiratory ailments have found a solution in yoga.”

He goes on to state that if the lungs are permanently damaged, as in chronic bronchitis, yoga teaches how to improve the mechanical efficiency of our breathing and make the most of our lung capacity.

Pranayama at home

With heightened awareness of respiratory wellness, many people are exploring the breathing exercises of pranayama at home. Here are two simple Kundalini Yoga breathing techniques you can practice anywhere to improve your respiratory health:

Technique 1: Long deep breathing

Long deep breathing uses the full capacity of the lungs by utilising the three parts of the lungs: abdominal or lower, chest or middle, clavicular or upper. Begin the inhale with an abdominal breath. Then add the chest breath and finish with a clavicular breath. All three are done in a smooth motion.

Start the exhale by relaxing the clavicle, then slowly emptying the chest. Finally, pull in the abdomen to force out any remaining air. Breathe through the nose, and focus on gradually slowing your breath. Continue for 26 breaths, or 3- 31 minutes.

Technique 2: Alternate nostril breathing

Sit in a comfortable position either on the floor or in a chair and maintain a straight spine. Using the thumb and index fingers of the right hand, make a “U” and use the thumb to close off the right nostril and the index finger to close off the left nostril.

Close the left nostril, inhale deeply through the right nostril. At the end of the inhale, close the right nostril and exhale through the left nostril.

Now inhale through the left nostril fully and deeply, then close the left nostril and exhale through the right one.

Again, inhale through the right nostril and continue alternate nostril breathing. The breath must be complete and full on both the inhalation and exhalation cycles, keeping the shoulders without tension and the body relaxed.

Continue for 3 - 5 minutes. To conclude, inhale deeply, hold the breath a few seconds, lower the hand and exhale.

Controlled breathing through pranayama can help improve respiratory health, which is even more important during the coronavirus pandemic.

LOS ANGELES — Donald Sutherland, the enigmatic actor whose lengthy career encompassed films including “The Dirty Dozen” and “The Hunger Games,” has died, his son said on Thursday. He was 88.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” actor Kiefer Sutherland wrote on X.

The elder Sutherland had a distinctive look — and piercing eyes — that brought a depth and mystery to the huge range of roles he inhabited over more than half a century on the big screen.

One of Canada’s most famous sons, he played dashing leading men as well as antiheroes and villains, most recently making a name among a new generation of fans as the evil President Snow in “The Hunger Games” franchise.

“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived,” wrote Kiefer Sutherland.

Reaction to the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winner’s death was swift, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hailing his unique talents.

“I had the opportunity when I was much younger to meet Donald Sutherland, and even as a young man who hadn’t had a full exposure to the depth of brilliance of Donald Sutherland, I was deeply, deeply star struck,” he told a press conference.

“He was a man with a strong presence, a brilliance in his craft, and truly, truly, a great Canadian artist, and he will be deeply missed.”

US President Joe Biden paid tribute to a “one-of-a-kind actor who inspired and entertained the world for decades”.

Ron Howard, who directed Sutherland alongside Robert De Niro and Kurt Russell in action-thriller “Backdraft,” called him “one of the most intelligent, interesting & engrossing film actors of all time”.

“Incredible range, creative courage & dedication to serving the story & the audience with supreme excellence,” he wrote on social media.

British actor Helen Mirren, who starred with Sutherland in 2017’s “The Leisure Seeker”, said he was “one of the smartest actors I ever worked with,” Variety reported.

“He had a wonderful enquiring brain, and a great knowledge on a wide variety of subjects. He combined this great intelligence with a deep sensitivity, and with a seriousness about his profession as an actor.

“This all made him into the legend of film that he became. He was my colleague and became my friend. I will miss his presence in this world.”

Rob Lowe said Sutherland had been “one of our greatest actors”.

“If you want a master class in acting, watch him in ‘Ordinary People’,” he wrote on social media, referring to Robert Redford’s multi-Oscar-winning directorial debut in 1980 about the disintegration of a wealthy family.

“Barry” and “Happy Days” actor Henry Winkler called Sutherland “singular,” an adjective also chosen by “The Batman” director Matt Reeves.

“Such a beautiful, soulful, and singular actor. His performances have meant so very much to me... and to the world. One of the all-time greats,” he wrote on X.

1970s hits

After what he called a “meandering” start to his acting career, Sutherland came to prominence in Robert Aldrich’s “The Dirty Dozen”, where 12 convicts are tasked with carrying out what appears to be a suicide mission in occupied France.

Starring alongside luminaries such as Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin and Telly Savalas, Sutherland’s impish charm caught the attention of producers of “M*A*S*H”.

Though set in the Korean War, the 1970 film was widely seen as a sophisticated satire on the Vietnam War.

His casting opposite Elliott Gould turned Sutherland into a household name in 1970s America, and opened the door to a durable career that would see him work with some of the biggest names in show business.

They included Jane Fonda, with whom he starred in 1971’s “Klute”, in which he played a detective who falls for the call girl he is supposed to be protecting.

Fonda won an Oscar for her performance, which she credited to her intense feelings for Sutherland, with whom she was in a relationship at the time.

Their off-screen chemistry brought Sutherland into her pacifist orbit, and he became active in anti-Vietnam War circles.

The pair put together a travelling revue, which irked the US government and landed them both under FBI surveillance.

SEOUL — For BTS ARMY members, as the K-pop phenomenon’s fan base is known, the timing of Jin’s discharge from South Korean military service couldn’t have been more fortuitous.

Just 24 hours after the oldest member of the world’s biggest boyband was discharged from duty, the South Korean capital was overtaken by BTS fans, with tens of thousands of people lining up on Thursday to join the group’s annual party.

Organised by HYBE, the band’s agency, the BTS FESTA last year saw 400,000 fans attend.

This year’s event, held at a sprawling sports complex in southern Seoul, is expected to exceed the record, with Jin giving out free hugs at a nearby location to a select group of 1,000 lucky raffle winners in a “huggathon”.

With lines stretching up to three kilometres around the FESTA venue, fans showed up from as early as 7:00am to make sure they could get their hands on the band’s coveted merchandise and free photo cards of their idols.

BTS has been on a self-described “hiatus” since 2022, with all seven members conscripted successively for military service.

Due to tensions with the nuclear-armed North, South Korea requires all men under 30 to sign up for service.

After his discharge on Wednesday, Jin said on South Korean app Weverse that the “huggathon” was his idea, and that he had “initially wanted to hug 3,000 fans” but that he had to agree to a smaller number due to safety concerns.

As she waited for the annual party to kick off, BTS fan Lisa Pavelchack said she was really proud of Jin “for doing what he needed to do” in life.

The 48-year-old from Ohio said she had flown to Seoul especially for the FESTA, which she was attending with friends she had met at a BTS concert in the United States.

Ann Suwanan, a 19-year-old from Thailand, was sad that she, like Pavelchack, was not going to get the chance to hug Jin.

“I wanted to hug him so much,” she told AFP.

Wearing a purple tulle dress and a big purple bow in her hair, she said she “cried a bit” with joy when Jin was discharged.

Hector Sosa, a 40-year-old father, said he had flown from Mexico to Seoul to accompany his adoring ARMY member daughter.

“My daughter is a fan of theirs and we came for her birthday as a present,” he said.

“We landed at 5:00am today in South Korea and came straight here.”

PARIS — France mourned the loss of a singular voice and “an icon of French song” on Wednesday, as the death of Francoise Hardy took one of the last great figures of its 1960s heyday.

Hardy’s death at 80, after a long battle with cancer, was announced by her son late on Tuesday, and commemorations poured in from across France and beyond.

Several newspaper headlines used the title of her 1968 hit “Comment te dire adieu” (“How to Say Goodbye”).

That was also the question of President Emmanuel Macron, who issued a statement praising “an idol of the young who became an icon of French song”.

There were messages from much further afield, including from Chuck D, co-founder of pioneering hip-hop group Public Enemy.

“Us beat diggers found some vintage stuff in Francoise Hardy records #RestInBeats,” he wrote on X.

Hardy long had admirers around the world, and was the only French artist in Rolling Stone’s list of 200 greatest singers last year.

Mick Jagger once described her as his “ideal woman”, Bob Dylan wrote a poem for her, and women everywhere imitated her androgynous style and embraced her melancholic melodies.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal praised a “singular voice with a fierce tranquillity, Francoise Hardy rocked generations of French people for whom she will remain anchored in moments of their lives”.

Electro pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre recalled “the elegance of her harmonious whispers that will resonate forever in the hearts of boys and girls of all ages”.

That was a nod to another hit, “Tous les garcons et les filles” (“All the Boys and Girls”), which sold 2 million copies in 1962 when she had just turned 18 — and which Hardy also composed herself, a rarity at the time.

In the carefree sixties, her melancholy vibe stood out, with a restraint that contrasted with the exuberant style of Brigitte Bardot.

Bardot, now 89, said she was “overwhelmed” by news of Hardy’s death.

“France has lost with her a little of that nobility, that beauty and that luminous talent, of that elegance that she conveyed all along her life,” said Bardot in a statement.

Hardy’s career spanned more than 50 years and almost 30 studio albums, including several film and theatre roles.

Prefiguring the slender models that would soon take over catwalks, she became a muse for designers such as Paco Rabanne and Yves Saint Laurent.

Despite battling throat cancer, she was still making music in her 70s. Her last album, “Personne d’autre”, was released in 2018.

SEOUL — K-pop megastar Jin from BTS was discharged from his South Korean military service on Wednesday, AFP reporters saw, the first member of the band to complete the mandatory duty, freeing him up to fully resume musical activities.

The seven members of the world’s most popular boy band have been performing their service — which South Korea requires of all men under 30, due to tensions with the nuclear-armed North — with the K-pop juggernaut on a self-described “hiatus” since 2022.

Jin emerged from the gates of his army base in South Korea’s northern Yeoncheon county where he was met by fellow bandmates J-hope, V, RM, Jungkook and Jimin.

RM played the saxophone, belting out the hook of BTS’s mega-hit “Dynamite” while the bandmates hugged and presented Jin with a giant bouquet of flowers.

Fans had hung colourful banners outside the base, with one reading: “Seok-jin you did so well for the last 548 days. We’ll stand by you with our unwavering love,” referring to the star by his full first name.

A giant balloon flew in front with the message: “Worldwide handsome Seok-jin! Congratulations on your discharge.”

Yeoncheon county put up its own banner that read: “BTS Jin, The last year and a half was a joy for us. Yeoncheon will not forget you!”

Fans had been urged not to attend, and there were only a couple of admirers present early Wednesday outside the base.

BTS’s agency HYBE announced Jin’s discharge on Weverse — a superfan social media platform — earlier this week.

“We are excited to bring you the news of Jin’s upcoming military discharge,” it said.

It also “strongly advised” fans to “refrain from the visiting site” citing safety concerts, and added that there would be no special events planned.

CARENTAN, France — It might have been the longest wait but on Saturday 100-year-old American World War II veteran Harold Terens married his 96-year-old fiancee in Normandy, just days after being honoured on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in north-western France.

To the sounds of “I will always love you”, “Ave Maria” and bagpipes, Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin said “I do” in the town of Carentan-les-Marais at a ceremony attended by dozens of guests, some wearing military uniforms.

To top off an extraordinary day, the newly wedded couple then attended the state banquet at the Elysee Palace in Paris thrown by President Emmanuel Macron in honour of visiting US leader Joe Biden.

“I waited 96 years to find the right man and now I have a wedding like only a queen and king can have,” Swerlin told AFP before the ceremony in Normandy.

“I feel young again,” Terens said. “It’s the best time of my entire life.”

Terens, who wore a light blue suit, entered the local wedding hall to applause from family and friends.

Dressed in satin pink, Swerlin made her entrance to the sound of Whitney Houston’s “I will always love you.” The bride and groom embraced, swaying with emotion.

“Oui!” Swerlin said in French when asked by the mayor, Jean-Pierre Lhonneur, if she wished to take Terens to be her husband.

Terens and Swerlin, who live in Boca Raton, Florida, tied the knot after commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 Normandy landings.

‘Dreams of big things’ 

“Today Harold chose our country to marry Jeanne. They are among us today. cogratulations to the young couple!” Macron told the pair in his toast to Biden at the state dinner.

The glitzy asembly of guests rose and cheered the couple.

“My religion is love,” Terens told AFP in Normandy. He said he always taught his family to “just love”.

“I never leave my house without saying goodbye and kissing them, always, from the day they are born until today.”

His son Bill Terens said they did not know “if he’d be alive or well enough to travel” to France for the anniversary of the D-Day landings as he regularly did in the past. But Terens said he felt good.

“I want to marry Jeannie,” he also said, according to his son.

“So we all thought it was a little crazy, but we supported him again, and here we are. He has always been a dreamer, he dreams of big things and sometimes he gets them.”

Anne-Marie Ruffier, a 66-year-old local, called the wedding a “unique event”.

“It’s also a way of thanking this man who helped liberate France,” she told AFP.

Pierre Le Goubey, 69, said he “wouldn’t have missed this wedding for the world”.

“It’s a powerful symbol,” he said, adding that in a way the veteran was “marrying France”.

‘Unbelievable guy’ 

Philip Taubman, Swerlin’s son-in-law, praised the “once-in-a-lifetime” celebration.

“It proves what life is all about,” he said. “Harold was a hero and he made a safer democracy of all the world and this is just the final celebration of his particular life.”

Terens was awarded the French Legion of Honour by Macron in 2019.

“We are very honoured that Mr. Terens has chosen to marry here, in Carentan, where in June 1944 the Allied troops landed on the beaches of Utah and Omaha,” the mayor said.

“We’ll be offering him champagne, of course, but also a gift to thank him for taking part in the liberation of France.”

During the war Terens was also part of a secret mission that took him to Soviet Ukraine via Casablanca, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Cairo, Baghdad and Tehran.

After the war Terens married his first wife, Thelma, with whom he spent 70 years and raised three children until her death in 2018.

In 2021, a friend introduced him to Swerlin, a charismatic woman who had also been widowed, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

“She makes life worth living,” Terens told AFP last month in Florida.

Swerlin said Terens was “an unbelievable guy”.

“He’s handsome — and he’s a good kisser.”

PARIS — The Picasso Museum in Paris launched an online portal on Monday, providing access to tens thousands of little-seen photos, artworks and other memorabilia from the iconic artist’s archives.

It comes ahead of a study centre dedicated to Pablo Picasso, due to open later this year near the museum in central Paris for researchers and artists-in-residence.

The digital portal opens up access to the museum’s vast collection of artworks, essays, conferences, podcasts and interviews.

Many have never been accessible to the public, including some 19,000 photos.

In the coming years, some 200,000 texts from Picasso’s workshops will also be digitised and uploaded.

Picasso was born in 1881 in Spain and lived almost all his life in France, where he died in 1973. The family entrusted his archives to the French state in 1992.

Meanwhile, the Paris museum opens a new exhibition on Tuesday, “Picasso: Consuming Images”.

It places dozens of famous works by Picasso alongside the historical masters that inspired him — including Poussin, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Goya and Matisse — and many other images and concepts that he drew from.

“Picasso grew up with a flood of new images and works that he went to see in person in Paris museums,” said curator Cecile Godefroy.

But his absorption of images went way beyond the academic, she added, saying that his fascination with postcards, art magazines, photographs, television images, cinema, comic strips and advertising presaged the torrent of images we consume in the age of social media.
