He also organized an exhibition dedicated to Jeff Koons at the Palace of Versailles in 2008.[5] In 2009, he co-organized the exhibition "Vides: une rétrospective", looking back on the history of the use of empty galleries by artists since Yves Klein.[6] He later oversaw the 2010 opening of Centre Pompidou-Metz, its first outpost, and became the museum's director.[7] In the following years, he was a candidate for the director posts of the Louvre[8] and Centre Pompidou.[9]
