"Museum Employee Fired for Hanging Personal Artwork in Gallery, Prompting Police Investigation"

A German art museum worker and aspiring artist was fired and banned from the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich after he smuggled in and hung up one of his own paintings in the gallery, hoping for an "artistic breakthrough." The 51-year-old employee, who considered himself a freelance artist, mounted his painting in an empty passageway, but it was quickly discovered by museum staff. The museum did not disclose the painting's subject or style to avoid encouraging imitators, and the employee's actions did not receive positive feedback from gallery visitors.

"Barrel Discovery: Aspiring L.A. Recording Artist Uncovered at Malibu Lagoon"

The body of a 32-year-old aspiring recording artist, Javonnta Murphy, was found inside a barrel at Malibu Lagoon State Beach. The cause and manner of death are under investigation by Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide detectives. Murphy, who was pursuing a career in music, had a limited criminal history and was described as a good person by a family friend. The barrel, which had markings suggesting it came from a printing company, was opened due to its suspicious weight, and the naked body inside indicates foul play. Detectives are still determining the origin of the barrel, which may have been carried into the lagoon by the tide.
