Laurent Le Bon is an exhibition coordinator, curator, writer and teacher. After studies in political science and at the École du Louvre, he started to become interested in the art of gardens of the 16^th and 17^th centuries, before developing his interest in contemporary art. He then entered the inspection of the fine arts delegation of the French Ministry of Culture, where he was in charge of public commissions. In 2000, he became head curator at the Musée National d’Art Moderne et Contemporain-Centre Georges Pompidou, where he curated many exhibitions, including “Dada”, in 2005, and “Vides”, in 2008, a more audacious and controversial choice. Since 2004, he has been in charge of the event “Versailles Off” in which he organised the exhibitions of Jeff Koons, Murakami and Xavier Veilhan at the Château de Versailles. He teaches contemporary art history at the École du Louvre and cultural management at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris. Since 2010, he has been the director of the Centre Pompidou-Metz and was the artistic director for the Nuit Blanche 2012.
