Passage du temps: Video Art from the Pinault Collection at Le Tri Postal, Lille
The exhibition 'Passage du temps' at Le Tri Postal in Lille (October 16, 2007 – January 1, 2008) presents works from the François Pinault collection, focusing on time-based art. Curated by Caroline Bourgeois, the show is structured in six sections plus interludes, emphasizing rhythm and suspension over narrative. It includes video, photography, and installation by artists such as Dan Flavin, Bill Viola, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, and others. The scenography by Caroline Barat and Thomas Dubuisson (Agence Search) enhances the experience. The exhibition is part of the Lille 3000 festival, which later featured 'Les Frontières invisibles' (March–July 2008). Dominique Païni's essay highlights the curatorial achievement of creating meaning from the collection, contrasting with previous Pinault shows at Palazzo Grassi. The show pays homage to the Centre Pompidou's 1990 exhibition 'Passages de l'image'.
