The museum appears in the 21st century as one of the most powerful institutions, replacing, finally, the cathedral as the chef d'oeuvre in almost every city. It has including stealed the rituals of religion or, rather, it has replicated the forms of idolatry found in religion. The consumption of art has become a tourist product, a global commodity, a social practice and a lifestyle. Universal and global museums and their franchises multiply in the world. Museums of civilizations, of world cultures, of African art or Orientalist museums replace colonial museums to comfort the visitor's eye and the imprisoned works.


La Galerie Du Temps is a moving image exhibition that explores our relation with time, history and how art, tourism and media appropriate, represent and model these dimensions to the viewer, the spectator and the citizen. The videos presented here question our physical relation with art and the instruments that mediate our perception and, through an historical perspective, the relation of art with the audience and how currently the museum steps up to the front to be the own object being exhibited and be the best above all inside it: artists, curators and artworks. The narrative of presenting art and history is thus conditioned by the museum global (and not universal) audience as well as attached to economic and political powers. An hybrid narrative of different sources for a rhizomatic History.


The title of the exhibition is the name of a room in the Louvre Museum of Lens: “La Galerie du Temps” is a large and quasi-futuristic hall that contains slightly more than 200 artworks, organized chronologically and showing more than 2000 years of history in one single room. The reflective surfaces of the walls show the reflexive nature of history. Some of the artworks are from time to time replaced by other artworks. Objects are not hanging in the wall to suggest that they’re less imprisoned and in a more direct contact with the public. “La Liberté guidant le people” (Liberty Leading the People) by Eugène Delacroix was thus the leading piece of this hall from its opening in 2012 until 2014.


Coming from the Louvre collection, this is a resume of the Louvre itself and its history, but without any of the best works. It allows, at least, that the viewer can have a chronological (and not encyclopedical) understanding of the human artistic creation through millennia, which becomes more difficult in the main Louvre due to its size and museum organization.


This compilation of another compilation is a paradoxical example of the human need to archive and the later need to re-archive in order to fully understand the information humankind generates, replicates, multiplies and complicates. A constant human need to open up the archive only to later close it again.
