<> - Romance blooms at the office

Forty percent of U.S. workers have dated an office colleague, with 31% of them going on to marriage, according to a survey. Ten percent work with someone they would like to date and 18% have dated a co-worker twice or more at some time in their careers. Of those who dated a co-worker, a third said it was someone with a more senior position in the company. Nearly 75% said they did not have to keep their romance a secret but 7% said they had left a job due to an office romance.

- Louvre sets stage for “Funeral of Mona Lisa”

A giant, grey version of Mona Lisa with tears in her eyes goes on display at the Louvre museum in the room next to the original by Leonardo da Vinci. The new work by Franco-Chinese artist Yan Pei-Ming is the centerpiece of an exhibition entitled “The Funeral of Mona Lisa,” part of the museum’s efforts to bring contemporary art face to face with the old masterpieces. Yan is famous in contemporary art circles for portraits of 20th century icons ranging from Mao Zedong to Bruce Lee.

‘모나리자의 장례식’ 준비하는 루브르 박물관
눈물을 흘리는 회색빛의 대형 모나리자가 루브르 박물관 내 레오나르도 다빈치의 원작 옆 방에 전시된다. 중국 출신의 프랑스 화가 옌페이밍의 이 작품은 ‘모나리자의 장례식’ 전시회의 중앙에 배치된다. 이 전시회는 역사적인 걸작과 현대 예술을 한 자리에 모으려는 루브르 박물관의 노력의 일환, 옌은 현대 미술계에서 모택동과 이소룡 등 20세기 아이콘들의 초상화로 유명하다.
