Mmmhhh tu sembles intéressé par "exhibition". Clique sur les mots clefs qui te plaisent... et hop ne rate plus rien les concernant. A toi de jouer !

Since its opening, the Centre Pompidou-Metz has had the privilege of presenting numerous works from the Centre Pompidou collection. To celebrate this rich partnership, this exhibition shows rarely exhibited works and pieces whose presence in the collection is not suspected, highlighting the movements of art history in their plurality. The exhibition majestically presents the extraordinary wall of André Breton's studio as well as Marcel Duchamp's chess table, which recently joined the Centre Pompidou collection.
The exhibition addresses the notion of Sunday, a multifaceted subject that has given rise to multiple associations among the collective of curators – gathered around the artist Maurizio Cattelan – as this theme raises social, political and aesthetic questions that run through our society today.
It addresses, among other things, the division between leisure time and work time, private and public spaces, spirituality, light and the potential of art to imagine alternative worlds or offer melancholic meditations.
It is divided into 27 sections that unfold like an ABC book, similar to that of Gilles Deleuze, each section bearing the title of a slogan, a verse from a poem, a novel, a song – B for “Fight” or Q entitled “When we stop understanding the world”. The 27th section is named after a new letter or symbol, invented for the exhibition. From this repertoire of thoughts, the inmates of the Giudecca women's prison in Venice write texts inspired by these 27 titles, which punctuate the route, and underline that artistic transmission has no borders.
A selection of paintings, sculptures, installations and films from the Centre Pompidou collection interacts with works by Maurizio Cattelan, from his early pieces, including Stadium, a giant table football, to his more recent creations such as Comedian or his monumental Felix. The exhibition also opens up to a broader chronological scope than that of the 20th and 21st centuries, through the presence of Gradiva from the Vatican Museums in order to show the strength of ancient mythical sources of inspiration for modern and contemporary art.
Designed to echo the lines of the architecture of the Centre Pompidou-Metz imagined by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, the scenography is designed by the duo Berger&Berger, who transform the galleries into a profusion of poetic experiences, which will take the form of universes inviting you to wander.
