To mark its 15th anniversary, the Centre Pompidou-Metz will fill all of its spaces – the Grande Nef, Galerie 1, the roofs of the galleries and the smallest nooks and crannies of the architecture – with hundreds of works from the collection of the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne, whose building will be undergoing construction work for a period of several years.
This exhibition will present works that are rarely exhibited and pieces that one would never suspect were in the collection, in dialogue with works by international artist Maurizio Cattelan. It will be divided into 27 sections organised in alphabetical order, showcasing movements from the history of art in all its complexity and will explore the concept of Sunday, raising social, political and aesthetic questions. It will feature the wall from the studio of André Breton as well as Marcel Duchamp’s chess table which recently joined the collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne.
