The number of visitors to Serpentine Gallery curator Hans Ulrich Obrist's first exhibition which he staged in the kitchen of his university flat in St Gallen, Switzerland.

Pompidou Center President Laurent Le Bon's relentless expansion plans may have finally hit a roadblock with opposition growing to its proposal for an outpost in South Korea.

Work on its satellite in the capital city of Seoul is already underway and it is expected to open next May, but it is the proposal for a second building in the city of Busan that is making waves.

Local politicians in the port city recently approved $78 million in funding for a five-story building slated to open in 2032 and the deal will become legally binding if another vote approves it in November, but concerns remain about its financial viability.

One report estimated it could get 460,000 visitors a year which could leave its annual budget down $5.5 million a year. Supporters point to the creation of thousands of jobs and a wider economic boost from tourism.

The Pompidou, which first opened in Paris in 1977, already operates branches as far afield as Malaga, Brussels and Shanghai with more set to open in Jersey City and Foz do Iguacu in Brazil.

Philadelphia's Calder Gardens - inspired by and dedicated to the work of Alexander Calder - does not open until Sunday but has already attracted rave reviews.

The $90 million Herzog & de Meuron-designed building on the city's Benjamin Franklin Parkway includes a garden by landscape designer Piet Oudolf, responsible for planting New York's Highline, and a rotating selection of Calder's work from the family foundation.

Writing in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Inga Saffron praised the "strikingly subversive design" with most of the gallery space underground creating what she described as an "anti-monumental pavilion... perfectly tuned to the project’s needs".

Andrew Russeth in the New York Times was equally enthusiastic saying the building gave "a casual dignity" to some of Calder's more "clunky" works.

He said the building was "an ennobling fun house, with a zest for drama" that "amplifies the artist’s restless wit and curiosity".
