Maurizio Cattelan & the Centre Pompidou collection. The exhibition tackles the notion of Sunday, a multifaceted subject that has prompted the collective of curators – gathered around the artist Maurizio Cattelan – to explore multiple associations. This theme raises social, political, and aesthetic questions that permeate our society today. It addresses, among others, the division between leisure and work time, private and public spaces, spirituality, light, and the potential of art to imagine alternative worlds or offer melancholic meditations. The exhibition is divided into 27 sections laid out like an alphabet book, similar to Gilles Deleuze's, each section titled with a slogan, a poem verse, a novel, or a song – B for "Bats-toi" or Q titled "Quand nous cesserons de comprendre le monde". The 27th section is named after a new letter or symbol invented for the exhibition. From this repertoire of thoughts, detainees from the Giudecca women's prison will write texts inspired by these 27 titles, highlighting the boundless nature of artistic transmission. A selection of paintings, sculptures, installations, and films from the Centre Pompidou collection dialogue with works by Maurizio Cattelan, from his earliest pieces, notably Stadium, a giant foosball table, to his more recent creations like Comedian or his monumental Felix. Furthermore, the exhibition opens up a broader chronological field than that of the 20th and 21st centuries through the presence of Gradiva or a collection of rare manuscripts and books from the Vatican Museum, showcasing the strength of mythical ancient sources of inspiration for modern and contemporary art. Punctuated by the presentation of major installations usually displayed permanently in Paris, the scenography is designed by the Florentine studio Archivio Personale, which transforms the galleries into a plethora of poetic experiences in the form of universes that invite wandering.
