Lots on the books for the Pompidou in the coming months: the Málaga outpost, originally conceived as a temporary pop-up, may be extended for another five years; the new Kanal-Centre Pompidou in Brussels opens a teaser exhibition and begins its €140m construction project; David Chipperfield's Shanghai Centre Pompidou/West Bund Art Museum is coming next spring; partnership with King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Saudi Arabia renewed; and Bogotá may be happening next.
