They’re Pulling the Curtain at the Pompidou

Tomorrow (Sept. 21) is the last day that the Centre Pompidou, Paris’ reknowed contemporary art museum, will be open before it closes for a renovation. A renovation that is expected to take five years. According to the museum web site, the renovation involves “technical and environmental components, such as the complete asbestos removal from the façade, treatment of corrosion on the main structure, renovation and energy optimization of the building, and improvements to accessibility.”

There is one last exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. “Nothing could have prepared us — Everything could have prepared us” was created by the 58-year old German artist Wolfgang Timmons. He was given free reign to design the exhibit in the center’s 2nd floor library. It includes video, music, various books and papers. The images here are of Timmons’ photography which is what he is best known for.
