exhibition « Project Room »
19 october 2005 to 26 february 2006
The CCC’s Project Room is dedicated to Daniel Buren with the presentation of two films on the artist and a work from the Regional Contemporary Art Collection (FRAC) of the Centre Region. Exhibited on the occasion of Daniel Buren’s exhibition in the Château de Tours (“Plus grand ou plus petit que ?”, for the CCC’s 25th birthday), these works and documents shed further light on the artist’s work and help us understand his creative process. “Les deux plateaux” (“The two levels”, 1986) is a collection a drawings and a model resulting from the artist’s research on the creation of a site-specific installation in the great courtyard of the Palais Royal in Paris. Mixing with the classical architecture of the place, this project reveals its basement but also its linear, repetitive and weave design. This state commission is probably Daniel Buren’s most famous and characteristic piece.
Stan Neumann’s film “Buren and the Guggenheim” relates the preparations for the exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum of New York in May 2005. In the film, the artist takes possession of the Museum architecture, thinking aloud while he is creating and sharing with us the specific way he considers spaces and shapes.
