The Centre Pompidou’s primary commitment relates to creation: enabling a maximum number of people to discover modern and contemporary works through exceptional exhibitions, by supporting emerging creation and presenting a forward-looking programme based on the freedom and creativity of the artists.
Lines run out from this primary commitment, lines that are sinuous because they weave between highly varied forms and disciplines (a question raised by an exhibition here may refer to a performance there, elsewhere a cycle of encounters, a concert or a retrospective). These lines, which sometimes come together just as today’s issues are telescoped, criss-cross the surface of the programme while simultaneously pervading the very operating of the institution like so many milestones in a long-term project.
