Maurizio Cattelan Curates ‘The Endless Sunday’ at Centre Pompidou-Metz
More than 400 works including his duct-taped banana.
The Centre Pompidou-Metz is celebrating its 15th anniversary with The Endless Sunday, a major exhibition curated by renowned Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. For the first time, the museum will activate every part of its establishment, from the Grande Nef and Galerie 1 to the rooftops and hidden spaces with more than 400 works from the Centre Pompidou’s collection.
Cattelan brings these works into dialogue with approximately 30 of his own, offering his signature satire plus a melancholic reflection on modern mythologies. Among them is Comedian, his infamous banana duct-taped to the wall, a piece that stirred global debate on the value and absurdity of contemporary art. In this context, it stands as both satire and symbol, reinforcing the exhibition’s deeper exploration of cultural rituals and systems of meaning.
Structured as a 27-part alphabet, the exhibition moves through themes tied to poems, novels and films. Endless Sunday is on view through February 2, 2027.
