The Centre Pompidou-Metz celebrates its 15th anniversary with an ambitious exhibition led by Maurizio Cattelan, titled The Endless Sunday. This extensive display includes over 400 works from the Pompidou's archives alongside 30 of Cattelan's own pieces. The exhibition is designed to engage visitors across various museum spaces, including unconventional areas, challenging traditional museum boundaries. Cattelan acts not just as an artist but as a provocateur, recontextualizing art to evoke discussions on modernity, absurdity, and cultural rituals. Key works like his banana duct-taped to a wall exemplify this dialogue of critique and commentary throughout the exhibit.
The Endless Sunday unfolds like an unpredictable conversation, where solemnity is constantly interrupted by irreverence, echoing Cattelan's style of mixing humor with deeper cultural critiques.
Cattelan's curatorial strategy stages encounters between works, recontextualizing pieces from the Pompidou collection, transforming the museum into a living commentary on modernity and absurdity.
