Daniel Buren: Excentrique(s) The Monumenta 2012 exhibition invited Daniel Buren to create a work for the monumental space of the 45-metre high glass atrium in the 13,500-square-metre nave of the Grand Palais in Paris. The annual exhibition featured Anselm Kiefer in 2007, Richard Serra in 2008, Christian Boltanski in 2010 and Anish Kapoor in 2011. Buren based his installation, Excentrique(s), travail in situ, on the observation that the late 19th century baroque architecture of the Grand Palais building was influenced by the geometry of the circle. He has created a lily-pond forest of flagpoles supporting transparent, plastic discs, which project the spectrum of light onto the ground.
