The CAPC, musee d'art contemporain de Bordeaux, became a municipal museum, controlled by the State, in 1984, and received the title of Musee de France in 2003. It consists of an important collection constituted by the main international art movements since the 1960s.
These works form the permanent collection but are not on constant display, so please check with the museum before visiting:
More than 700 works by 140 artists present European and American trends of the 1960s and 70s, including Land Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art and Arte Povera, described by Sol Lewitt, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Daniel Buren, Simon Hantai and Claude Viallat.

DRAPEAUX GRIS/GREY FLAGS until 18 March 2007
This exhibition reflects on the irreducible nature of a work of art to its context. 50 works and 20 artists are presented: John Armleder, Lutz Bacher, James Lee Byars, Helen Chadwick, Chen Xiaoyun, Cinema Zero, Tacita Dean, Claire Fontaine, Liam Gillick, Piero Golia, Michael Krebber, Jonathan Monk, Gabriel Orozco, Seth Price, The Atlas Group/Walid Raad, Allen Ruppersberg, Salon de Fleurus, Wilhelm Sasnal, Erik Satie, Karin Schneider, Shirana Shahbazi, Kelley Walker, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Mario Ybarra Jr.
The artists in “Drapeaux Gris†explore ways in which to question the institutional categorisation of art. The exhibition turns its back on these strategies of categorisation, bringing together work which plays with codes of communication and resists pre-formatted interpretations. Curators Anthony Huberman and Paul Pfeiffer have selected some well known artists and some newcomers to the young international art scene.

"If Everybody had an Ocean. Brian Wilson, an exhibition"
November 2007-March 2008
The object of the exhibition is the fascination that Brian Wilson, the main creative force behind the identity of the Beach Boys (Surfin’USA, I get around, Good vibrations…), exerted on several generations of artists.
The project is therefore born from a conviction: through Brian Wilson comes a new way of reading art, enabling us to rewrite contemporary history of art.
The artworks will be laid out in the nave of the CAPC in order to create a more or less fictional story around the life of Wilson.
Moreover, the exhibition will be accompanied by a musical and film program surrounding the Beach Boys and the surf culture.
Bringing together an important number or historical artworks from the Californian scene of the 60’s and introducing new productions from artists made specially for the exhibition, If Everybody had an Ocean is a very ambitious project.
