Pom Pom Pidou, Un récit renversant de l'art moderne

From April 2025, the Centre Pompidou will be taking over the Tripostal, one of Lille?s most emblematic cultural venues. The Pom Pom Pidou exhibition draws on the Centre Pompidou?s collection and masterpieces to unfold an astonishing tale of modern and contemporary art on the three levels of the Tripostal, the flagship of lille3000?s major cultural seasons, showing that in the 20th century, and right up to the present day, the field of creation has never ceased to be turned upside down, agitated in every direction.
on the first floor,**_ the tour takes the form of an avant-garde museum, energized by Robert Delaunay?s colorful rhythmic paintings and Franti?ek Kupka?s vortex canvases, the adventure continues with the Italian Futurists who proclaimed the beauty of speed, and culminates in Marcel Duchamp?s insolent challenge to art with his revolutionary ready-mades. This chronological sequence is punctuated by contemporary counterpoints, such as designer lamps and a light projection by Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.
on the second floor,** art?s upheaval is amplified by the Dada movement, then by the Nouveaux Réalistes and their way of bringing the street, its posters and everyday objects into the great art of painting. While the Fluxus movement put viewer participation at the heart of the artistic game, after 1960 Pop Art and Figuration Narrative artists confronted the flood of media images.
finally, Tripostal?s second floor**_ takes on a laboratory feel, focusing on experimental research and new technologies: Vera Molnar?s algorithmic works, sensory environments or NFT files created by artists and recently acquired by the Centre Pompidou? Musée national d?art moderne. In this way, the history of art from the 20th century to the present day can be seen as a slightly mad machine, made up of different rhythms, clutches and breaks, jolts and jolts.

Throughout this chronological tour, enhanced by interdisciplinary dialogues (design, architecture, comics), the Centre Pompidou not only presents key works from its collection, but also honors its multi-disciplinary approach with novel proposals for visitors. At the heart of the tour, visitors are invited to take part in a game designed by artist Elsa Werth, echoing the game boxes imagined in the 1960s-1970s by artists of the Fluxus movement.
In a room dedicated to the relationship between comics and painting, the Bpi (Bibliothèque publique d?information) offers a reading room featuring albums by artist and comics writer Jochen Gerner.
At the end of the tour, a room is dedicated to the architectural project for the Centre Pompidou, with previously unpublished drawings by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers: the "Beaubourg Plateau", site of the future Centre Pompidou, can be seen as a response by cultural institutions to the many challenges posed by twentieth-century artistic movements.
