Pierre Klossowski Exhibition at Centre Pompidou

The Centre Pompidou in Paris is hosting an exhibition of Pierre Klossowski's work from April 4 to June 4, co-produced with the Whitechapel Gallery in London and the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. Curated by Agnès de la Baumelle, the show is accompanied by a catalogue co-published with Gallimard. A separate Klossowski exhibition, curated by Serge Fauchereau, will be presented at the Circulo de Bellas Artes and the Institut français in Madrid from November 22 to January 14, 2008. Six years after Klossowski's death, renewed attention to his work offers a fresh perspective on the last three decades of intense artistic production in France. Among the practices that disrupted established codes of plastic expression and artistic categories are the "individual mythologies," a term coined by Harald Szeemann for artists in Documenta 5 in Kassel in 1972, including Christian Boltanski and Jean Le Gac, later joined by Annette Messager and Sophie Calle.
