BUREN
Daniel Buren is certainly the best-known French artist thanks to the famous eponymous columns of the Palais Royal. He is the guest artist at the Grand Palais for the next "Monumenta" event which begins on May 9, 2012. On this occasion, the monograph published in 2001 by Guy Lelong is updated, increased by 40 pages with a change of format and layout. The epilogue added to this reissue presents, among the works that Daniel Buren has produced over the last decade, those whose dimension is the scale of the architectures they invest. Because the increasingly architectural dimension of Daniel Buren's work is one of the striking features of his current evolution. This new chapter is organized around five major exhibitions: The Museum that Didn't Exist (Centre Pompidou, 2002), The Eye of the Storm or L'il du cyclone (Guggenheim Museum, New York, 2005), Plus grand ou plus petit que (Chteau de Tours, 2005), La Coupure (Picasso Museum, 2008) and the Monumenta of 2012. These large-scale installations are also characterized by the visual game montages they propose, consisting of diffusing color in space by projections and reflections. A concluding part places Daniel Buren's general approach in a broader artistic perspective, beyond the visual arts alone.
