:: EXHIBITION "EDVARD MUNCH, l'oeil moderne - 1900-1944" : from 21/09/11 to 09/01/12

Organised in close cooperation with the Munch Museum in Oslo, the exhibition presents a set of major works by the painter, most of which have never been exhibited in France.

:: EXHIBITION "DANSER SA VIE" : from 23/11/2011 to 02/04/2012

The Centre Pompidou will present an unprecedented exhibition devoted to the relationship between dance and the visual arts, from 1900 to the present. Covering over 2,000 square metres, the exhibition draws on the Centre�s tradition of major multidisciplinary shows, a tradition its president Alain Seban has said he wishes to revive. Both original and prolific, the theme will be explored through works by the greatest artistic figures of the 20th century, the contributions of the founding movements of artistic modernism, and the current explorations of important contemporary artists and dancers. Danser sa vie shows how dance and the visual arts together struck the spark of modernity, inspiring both the major artistic movements and the key figures who made the history of modern and contemporary art. Conjoining the modern with the contemporary, this exhibition in three acts will show how both art and dance have explored the body in movement. The exhibition Danser sa vie will allow us to discover this hidden aspect of the avant-garde art movements as a constant source of inspiration for contemporary art by establishing a dialogue between all the disciplines, of the choreographic as of the visual arts, from painting to contemporary video. A vast selection of paintings, sculptures, installations, films, videos and dance works will testify to the continual exchanges between them.

:: EXHIBITION "MATISSE PAIRES/IMPAIRES" : from 07/03/2012 to 18/06/2012

Variations on the same theme or motif lie at the heart of the work of Matisse. This unique exhibition presents the development of the highly individual process followed by the artist. While dealing with the same topic, he would work on the framing, the colours, the styling, and built series.
