Cattelan's ‘Comedian' banana eaten again at French museum in Metz
It's happened again. Someone walked into a museum, spotted Maurizio Cattelan's banana-taped-to-a-wall artwork, and decided to tuck in. This time, the setting was the Centre Pompidou-Metz in eastern France, where the infamous 'Comedian' (2019) has been on display since May as part of a major retrospective marking the museum's 15th anniversary. A visitor reportedly peeled the banana off the wall and ate it, before security 'rapidly and calmly intervened,' according to a statement from the museum on Friday. The gallery didn't seem especially bothered. 'The artwork was reinstalled a few minutes later,' it said, adding that the banana is a perishable item and is 'regularly replaced according to instructions from the artist.' Cattelan, never one to miss an opportunity for deadpan commentary, told French news agency AFP he was disappointed the visitor hadn't fully committed. 'Instead of eating the banana with its skin and duct tape, the visitor just consumed the fruit,' he said, adding that they had 'confused the fruit for the work of art.' This is at least the fourth time 'Comedian' has been consumed since its debut at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, where it made headlines and prompted eye-rolls in equal measure. The original version was sold for $120,000 (€103,000) by Galerie Perrotin – and not long after, performance artist David Datuna plucked it from the wall and ate it, saying he was simply 'hungry.' Since then, 'Comedian' has become one of the most talked-about – and eaten – pieces of conceptual art in recent memory. In 2023, an art student at Seoul National University helped themselves to the banana during a Cattelan show at the Leeum Museum of Art, also citing hunger. And in 2024, Chinese tech entrepreneur Justin Sun bought an edition of the work at Sotheby's for $6.24 million (€5.3 million), then ate the banana at a press conference nine days later. A post shared by David Datuna (@david_datuna) Despite the snackable nature of the work, each sale includes a certificate of authenticity and detailed instructions for replacement – meaning what's on the wall is technically never the original banana, but part of the artwork's ongoing life cycle. 'For now, it is perhaps the most-eaten artwork of the last 30 years,' the Centre Pompidou-Metz quipped in its statement. So far, no police reports have been filed and no bans have been announced. For now, the fruit's back on the wall – and it may only be a matter of time before someone else gets peckish.

Belgium's Tomorrowland festival opens after fire destroyed main stage
Belgium's Tomorrowland music festival kicked off on Friday just two days after a massive fire engulfed the main stage and threw one of Europe's biggest summer concert events into doubt. Workers laboured around the clock to clear out the debris from the elaborate backdrop that went up in flames on Wednesday evening. Shouting '"We made it!'', the festival's opening performers, Australian electronic music group Nervo, were able to take to the replacement main stage on Friday after a last-minute scramble and a slight delay. Some charred framework from the original stage were visible behind them. No one was hurt in the fire, organisers said and the cause is still being investigated. Festival crew members worked through the night to quickly erect the new, stripped down stage in time for its first performers. Tomorrowland spokesperson Debby Wilmsen said the new stage is "very intimate," and includes speakers that were also used for Metallica shows. Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world attend Tomorrowland's annual multi-day festival outside the Belgian town of Boom. Some 38,000 people were camping at the festival site on Friday, Wilmsen said. "Maybe there are some few people that say, OK, we would like to have a refund, but it's only like a very small percentage because most of them are still coming to the festival.' "It is all about unity and I think with a good vibe and a positive energy that our festival-goers give to each other and the music we offer, I think they will still have a good time," she said. '"We really tried our best." Australian fans Zak Hiscock and Brooke Antoniou — who travelled half way around the world to see the famed festival as part of a summer holiday to Europe — described hearing about the fire. "We were sitting having dinner when we actually heard the news of the stage burning down. We were very devastated and shattered, quite upset because we travelled a long way,'' Hiscock said. Ukrainian visitor Oleksandr Beshkynskyi shared their joy that the festival went ahead as planned. "It's not just about the one DJ or two DJs you're looking to see, but about all the mood and about the dream being alive," Beshkynskyi said. Tomorrowland is the world's largest electronic music festival and is expected to attract around 400,000 people over the weekend.

Givenchy recruits Zhao Liying as new global beauty ambassador
The Lanfang, Hebei-born actor began her career in 2006 after winning a talent contest and quickly gained attention with roles in "Legend of Lu Zhen" (2013), and "Boss & Me" (2014). Most recently, the actress starred in the 2025 film "We Girls", a crime drama directed by Feng Xiaogang. Marking the partnership, a new Givenchy beauty campaign shows the Chinese star wearing the Parisian brand's new Le Rouge Velvet Matte lipstick in almond terracotta. The appointment comes as the LVMH -owned Givenchy looks to freshen up the image of its makeup vertical and inevitably boost sales. In its most recent trading update in April, LVMH logged a 3% drop in first-quarter sales, missing expectations and confirming a broader sector slowdown as shoppers pulled back on designer fashion amid a volatile economic climate.
