2010 a 'branch' of the Centre Pompidou Paris opened in Metz. They have changing exhibition of modern art with works on loan from Paris. Now after five years we at last made the trip. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to visit 'Leiris & Co.' http://www.centrepompidou-metz.fr/en/leiris-co-picasso-masson-mir-giacometti-lam-bacon This show introduced us with nearly 350 works of art - somewhat overwhelming - to this French intellectual and his illustrious circle of friends.
In the spacious foyer of the museum was the installation by artist/composer Celeste Boursier-Mougenot called 'Clinamen'. In a round blue pool different sized porcelain bowls floated on the surface. Put in constant motion by a small jet they produced a visual and audible enjoyment to young and old visitors.
You may have seen his installation 'From here to ear' in the Peabody Essex in the Spring of 2014,
and his name, somewhat difficult, is worth to remember: Celeste Boursier-Mougenot.
