Project: New works added to Maurizio Cattelan’s ongoing exhibition
Why it Matters: A presentation that continues to grow with new pieces and unexpected pairings
Endless Sunday at Centre Pompidou-Metz has been expanded again, and the new additions change the character of several rooms. The update introduces works from different periods of the museum’s collection, bringing in pieces that weren’t part of the exhibition earlier this year.
A Magritte alphabet painting is now installed across from a Jean Arp sculpture, creating a direct visual contrast between Magritte’s crisp lettering and Arp’s rounded forms. In another room, a 17th-century painting by Monsù Desiderio appears beside Maurizio Cattelan’s Mini-Me. The two works come from very different contexts, but shown together they open up an interesting, slightly offbeat dialogue between theatrical baroque architecture and Cattelan’s self-portrait figure.
Large works that have become anchors of the exhibition remain in place, including L.O.V.E., which still dominates one of the central spaces. The Wrong Gallery — the miniature “gallery within the gallery” — continues to be active as well. Recent rotations have included short presentations by Ruth Beraha and Edi Rama, giving the tiny space a steady flow of new work.
The arrangement of the galleries allows these changes to stand out without breaking the rhythm of the show. The shelves, open lines of sight, and the spacing of the rooms make it easy to notice what’s been added since earlier versions of the exhibition.
Centre Pompidou-Metz plans to continue updating Endless Sunday over the next two years. The approach is simple: add new works when they become available, bring in loans from different collections, and keep the exhibition active rather than static. The November update follows this pattern, introducing a few strong additions that shift what visitors encounter from room to room.
