Centre Pompidou

I did take in some art when I was in Paris. I saw quite an interesting exhibition in the Centre Pompidou on Samuel Beckett. It was split into 8 steps and within this, his contemporary artist's and today's visual artist's borrowed from his images, his obsessions, his structures, his associations, everything that constitutes the Beckettian world: nudity, waste, laughter, the skull, a fall, a tree, silence, a cube, darkness, a voice, ruins. It made me want to discover more about this Irish scholar, Beckett. Perhaps this is a reflection of my desire to know in more debt some of my history, me being Irish and all that!
Also a trip to MAC/VAL was a good insight into the contemporary art scene in Paris. It's an interesting space which is just outside Paris.
