CELINE introduces “Accès Libre” in celebration of Wolfgang Tillmans "Rien ne nous y préparait – Tout nous y préparait” exhibition, at the Centre Pompidou.

This unique initiative was imagined as an open invitation to all, offering free admission to the public on four select dates :
June 13th
July 3rd
August 28th
September 22nd.

From 13 June to 22 September 2025, the Centre Pompidou is giving free rein to German artist Wolfgang Tillmans, who has come up with an original project to round off the programme at the Paris building. He has moved into Level 2 of the Public Information Library (Bpi), transforming the 6,000 m2 of space in a curatorial experiment that establishes a dialogue between his work and the library space, questioning it both from an architectural standpoint and as a place for the transmission of knowledge.

Throughout his artistic career, Tillmans (born in Remscheid, Ger­many in 1968) has pushed back the boundaries of the visible di­mension, immortalising and revealing the fragile beauty of the physical world. Proposing new ways of creating images, he ex­plores the profound transformation of the information media and channels of our time. In the process, he created a unique aesthe­tic universe, born of the countercultural spirit of the early 1990s. Tillmans’ multifaceted work has led him on a quest to define a new humanism and alternative ways of living together, with a las­ting impact on contemporary creation. His work is deeply rooted in the “Here and Now”: he provides a sweeping overview of forms of knowledge and presents a free and sincere experience of the world, examining the contemporary condition of Europe while ex­ploring the techniques of mechanical reproduction.
