'our advice has been approved following a full inspection by the local health and safety department of southwark council. all of these injuries have been caused by visitors who have not followed the instructions for using the slides,' she said. bourgeois donates tsunami memorial a louise bourgeois memorial to the thousands of victims of the december 2004 indian ocean tsunami was unveiled this week in a national park on the southwestern coast of thailand, the associated press reported. the work, "hold me close," was donated to thailand by the french-born ms. bourgeois, 95, who is based in new york. her memorial installation consists of a wooden walkway and two sculptures, one depicting a child's hand in the water; the other, inside a wooden dome, showing two joined adult hands. the thai culture ministry's office of contemporary art and culture said the memorial was in hat nopparat national park on the coast of the andaman sea in krabi province. the tsunami killed more than 8,000 people in thailand, including vacationing foreigners and local residents, mostly from fishing communities on the coast. about 230,000 people in a dozen countries rimming the indian ocean are believed to have died in the disaster. heinz berggruen dies aged 93 the german-born jewish art collector who in the mid-1990s made a powerful gesture of reconciliation by moving his modern art collection to berlin, died outside paris last friday. at the end of his life, berggruen was hailed in paris when the picasso museum presented a special exhibition, 'picasso-berggruen: a private collection,' with 150 works on display. 'i am neither french nor german,' he told reporters at the time. 'i am european. i'd very much like to think there was a european nationality, but i think i may be dreaming.' for a full obituary in the new york times click here. more galleries in new york french dealer yvon lambert opened a new space on west 21st street during the armory show, inaugurated by artist richard jackson. yossi milo has opened an additional space at 531 west 25th street, just a few steps away from the existing gallery. black and white gallery, which started several years ago in brooklyn, has recently opened a new large space in chelsea on 28th street. in may it will be giving your gallery artist randy wray his first solo show. after being in business for little more than a year, stefania bortolami and amelia dayan are going their separate ways. bortolami will keep the gallery in chelsea and all its artists, while dayan has announced she will be setting up her own private dealership and a consultancy in collaboration with daniella luxembourg. new developments at the barbican, london the barbican announced its big blockbuster for the autumn this week - a survey of sex in art to which no one under the age of 18 will be admitted. kate bush, head of galleries, said, 'it's not a show for someone to get their rocks off on, but a serious scholarly undertaking.' the exhibition, curated by martin kemp, of oxford university, and marina wallace, of the university of the arts, london, will chart more than 2,000 years of sex in art via 250 objects, from ancient greek pottery to works by jeff koons of his porn star ex-wife, la cicciolina. the show, entitled 'seduced: sex in the city', was planned for the hayward gallery but the coincidence of a new director, ralph rugoff, new policies and massive financial problems at the southbank meant that the show was cancelled. the barbican announced its forthcoming exhibition, which will be extremely costly given so many works will be on loan from museums all over the world, at the same time that it revealed its financial difficulties having suffered a real-terms cut in its grant from the city of london of nine per cent over the past nine years. also this week, it was confirmed that nicholas kenyon will take over as the barbican's new managing director following the retirement of john tusa. gregor schneider's cube finally shown as reported in the art newspaper, the hamburger kunsthalle is set to unveil an installation by the german artist gregor schneider, entitled 'cube' later this month. the work was withdrawn from the 2005 venice biennale and the hamburger bahnhof in berlin last year for fear of offending muslims. the installation, a 46-foot cube made of scaffolding covered in black fabric, is inspired by the ka'ba in mecca, the holiest site of islam. it goes on view in the exhibition 'homage to malevich' (23 march-10 june). homeland security spies from jaume plensa's towers a fracas erupted in chicago this week when it was discovered that the us department of homeland security had last november affixed cameras to two 50-foot glass towers made by spanish artist jaume plensa for the city's in millennium park.
