Christian Boltanski retrospective
From 13 November 2019 to 16 March 2020, Centre Pompidou is housing a retrospective around the French artist Christian Boltanski’s work. His work discusses the rites of our society and the memory that remains after our death. Boltanski, as an artist, has experimented with various art forms, like plastic art, photography, sculpting, painting and even film making, with the aim of trying to explore the boundary between absent and present. His work is an art that offers a vision of the life of Man and what happens after death – remembering or forgetting, memory, ideas – Boltanski explores all sorts of notions.
