Jenny Holzer. J'ai vu

预览：撰写于展览开幕之前

On Orsay's own preview image, a line from Monet's 1884 letter to Théodore Duret runs in white capitals across the old station front, above the Seine: "C'est toute une étude nouvelle pour moi que ce pays." Holzer projects lines like it, by Flaubert, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Zola, every evening from 18 to 22 October, 7pm to 11pm.

Inside, the texts come from Orsay's archive or its 1848 to 1914 period. You walk the domed galleries of history painting, naturalism and symbolism with coloured LED text streaming past the pictures, beside Holzer's gold and platinum-leaf paintings, much of their text redacted. New stone benches, many carved with period writing, sit across the ground floor and galleries. In a city where a terrace chair costs you an espresso, here the seat is the artwork.

The galleries are rooms 57, 58 and 60, level 2, on the €16 timed museum ticket (€12 Thursday evenings, open to 9:45pm; free under 18). The façade projections are outside, for anyone passing.
