The work's all about absence, disappearance, loss, and lack--yet Sophie Calle has a knack for staying in the public eye. Hard on the heels of her 2000 Kassel retrospective comes another full survey. Curated by the Pompidou's Christine Macel, the show spans 1979 to the present, from Les Dormeurs, 1980 (the work that persuaded Calle art was her calling), through to several new projects: Douleur exquise, 1984-2003, a meditation on the unhappy relationship Calle counts the worst experience of her life, and Une Jeune Femme disparait, 2003, a memorial to a young photographer, art worker, and Calle aficionado who disappeared after a fire in her Paris apartment. The catalogue includes essays by Yve-Alain Bois, Christine Macel, Olivier Rolin, and Damien Hirst. Nov. 19-Mar. 15.
