The Centre Pompidou-Metz has developed a privileged relationship with Daniel Buren notably through the Constellation pre-inauguration event in 2009 which produced two projects: 5,610 flammes colorées pour un arc-en-ciel (5,610 coloured flames make a rainbow), a site-specific work in the Rue Serpenoise in Metz, and, in September, Couleurs superposes (Layered colours), a performance which he directed at the Metz Métropole Opera House and Theatre. A year after its opening, the Centre Pompidou-Metz has invited Daniel Buren to produce a project specifically for Galerie 3, in a joint initiative with Luxemburg's Mudam (Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art). Buren has created a site-specific piece for the Mudam's Grand Hall, entitled Architecture, contre-architecture : transposition, which will be shown until May 2011. The Centre Pompidou-Metz then takes up this proposal with an installation that will integrate a museographic structure. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
