Dimanche sans fin

Show & Culture

Since its opening, Centre Pompidou-Metz has had the privilege of presenting numerous works from the Centre Pompidou collection. Celebrating this longstanding partnership, the exhibition Dimanche sans fin features rarely exhibited works and unexpected pieces from the collection, highlighting the plurality of art-historical movements. It notably presents the wall from André Breton’s studio and Marcel Duchamp’s chess table. The exhibition explores the notion of Sunday and the social, political and aesthetic questions it raises: the division between leisure time and work time, private and public spaces, spirituality, light, and art’s potential to imagine alternative worlds. It unfolds in 27 sections, structured like an alphabet book. A selection of paintings, sculptures, installations and films from the Centre Pompidou collection enters into dialogue with works by Maurizio Cattelan, including Stadium, Comedian and Felix. The exhibition also includes Gradiva from the Vatican Museums and a scenography by Berger&Berger, echoing the architecture of Centre Pompidou-Metz.
