The Louvre, before becoming a museum, was an artists' studio. Today, it remains their home. For several months, Hans Ulrich Obrist, a major figure in the art world, explored the collections with leading figures in contemporary art. They discussed the works that influenced them and the spaces that still arouse their admiration. Each artist, following their contemporary sensibilities, explores the challenges facing museums in the 21st century.
The frequent separation between heritage and creation, between the art of the present and the art of the past, is now transcended: through the plurality of voices that express themselves each time in front of the works, the Louvre asserts itself as the place of dialogue between the times of art - a place in the mirror of which each person comes to reflect their own projects. In the end, the eleven conversations arouse above all a powerful desire: that of going to see and see again the works, evoked here or others, in this magical swarming of a museum constantly reinvented by its visitors.
