As part of Monumenta 2010 at Paris's Grand Palais (13 January-21 February), the French equivalent of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall commission, artist Christian Boltanski will continue his project to create the "Archives du Coeur", a collection of recorded human heartbeats. "Visitors are invited to record their own heartbeat and offer it to the artist," said a spokeswoman. This cardiac collection will apparently be housed on its very own island belonging to the Benesse Art Site Naoshima in Japan.
