Photographer's Note

GRAND PALACE - Daniel Buren the Grand Palais with a work of color, "Eccentric (s)" ...

Daniel Buren's work invites a stroll round nose up on these translucent through which the canopy is magnified, or head down on the concrete floor where crude is projected colored light. "I wanted to highlight the thing that is most horrible and sloppy here - the ground - and to become a marvel, says Daniel Buren. Make the glass more beautiful, it's impossible. But when the sun strikes the ground, everything stands out. The light looks like powder pier and draws a huge slab as a mosque or a cathedral. "

The artist of 74 years, used unreasonable public order, tackled the challenge with a Monumenta humble young man. "Nobody is used to that. This building is unsafe because beautiful. And history of the Monumenta can not be ignored. It's a kind of competition very difficult, even intimidating. All that, it gives punch, the desire to fight, to provide vision, new if possible. "
Grace and lightness

Visitors will probably still remember the stunning "Leviathan" by Anish Kapoor, which encumbered the aisle last year. Less immediate, our impression from the work of Daniel Buren on the retina is not less strong. "The original idea was to capture the light." The height of the canopy is partly covered with blue plates and "One project was to cover the entire canopy of color filters." Bold idea but perhaps vain. In comparison, it has retained a certain grace.
