Abstract
Running for fifty-three days (23 April to 23 June 2014) at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Flamme éternelle (Eternal Flame) was Thomas Hirschhorn's sixty-sixth artwork produced in a public space. Open each day from noon to midnight with free admission, Flamme éternelle included a bar, computer stations, a small library of books, a video room with DVDs, a workshop for art making, a daily journal, and continual lectures around the two “fireplaces.” Through presence and production, the artist sought to create conditions of dialog between himself, artists, poets, philosophers, writers, and the public.
