exhibition
Cerith Wyn Evans (born in Wales in 1958, lives and works in London) will stage a sensory and poetic garden in Gallery 3 and the Forum of the Centre Pompidou-Metz. This solo exhibition, the first of its kind in France since the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris (ARC) in 2006, will uniquely bring together several series of luminous sculptures emblematic of the artist's practice in recent years. The exhibition resonates with sound and light works and creates radiant scenographies. Older and newer creations interact, producing new scenarios, with each retaining its uniqueness, orchestrated such that the exhibition constantly transforms. In the Forum of the Centre Pompidou-Metz, a "winter garden" hosts works that blur the lines between nature and culture, playing with the architecture of Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines. At the core of this vegetation, two columns of filament tubes, like gigantic glass trees, rise to the roof. In a different atmosphere, Cerith Wyn Evans transforms the gallery on the third floor into a "stroll garden" with 80 meters of mirrors, creating electrifying effects. Suspended abstract neon patterns, inspired by the Japanese tradition of Noh theater, perform a frenetic dance. The exhibition is illuminated by reflections and flickering lights, and visitors become the actors in a choreography of natural and artificial lights. The diffusion of luminous and sound waves makes every moment of contemplation a new event.
