Days in Paris, I often right bank of the Seine, the busiest sections of the Pompidou exhibition bubble most of the day, the Pompidou is a short, its “Formal Names” is the French National Museum of Modern Art, and many locals as “a beautiful castle.” I have been to the Pompidou many times, I like to watch this building silver-gray “naked” construction, because the transparent building skeleton and the Museum of the internal organs all show, “skeleton” after numerous vertical pipe, colorful. Pompidou built over half a century to alternative style to attract many visitors, some would say radical, some would say decadent, it reflects the French concept of tolerance for different cultures.
This quaint buildings and people’s integration, opening up the public square in a variety of activities every day, is also a paradise for those performers. It around the street a few hundred years of history, such as mesh density, the ban on vehicle line, the Pacers can Youzaiyouzai. Pompidou elevator outside the building by a transparent glass with a round, like a big pipe, and like a giant worm article. Top of the sixth floor board, a soaring sense: 3322 under the street artists, tourists sketching; children carrying schoolbags on slopes skateboarding, groups of pigeons flew leisurely pace. Overlooking the sunny, can clearly see the Eiffel Tower and the Sacred Heart Cathedral, white roof, just like the movie “Moulin Rouge” titles.
Pompidou again this spring, a new discovery tour, first museum exhibition of women artists increased significantly, it seems to highlight women’s position in the history of modern art. On the first floor of the Great Hall some ingenious feature more than 20 museum, exhibition hall with many rooms and screening room showing the two parts, static and dynamic display of the artist’s creation. Put aside the screening room of the Inside Story of cloth, which sat a dense mass of spectators, many people must like me, mostly just to ride into the rest a while, may not be able to read large screen video of these alternative art. Many exhibitions are keen on the display of female body art, there are excellent, there are mediocre. If a work called “hula hoop with thorns”, placed in conspicuous places, a nude female body shape is the full set of hula hoops, but the Hula Hoop is made of barbed wire. The big screen in the screening room, I saw a stout woman in turn spur hula hoop, and had had numerous of blood, what does that mean? I think this may be very deep, contains critical and rebellious ideas, but it might be more I think it is just a bad play.
The second finding is a collection of experience to the astonishing Pompidou, the contemporary collection of public library has 300,000 books, periodicals thousands. I saw hundreds of shelves contemporary Chinese writers, also found many Chinese sixties and seventies of last century publications. All books are open-shelf museum display, the selection of any reader, foreigners with passport can be read. Get tired, hungry look, can be next to the coffee lounge or choose a number of West Point, relax a moment.
Sat Heating cozy, bright and spacious reading room, half the time as the fly. Chinese Lantern light up the street when out of the pavilion, I have an appointment, daughter to work on a few hundred meters outside the Jewish quarter in the company, the Pompidou has become our old place briefly, and then go home the best place.
