Looking into the void...

As I perused the Guardian website I came across an exhibition that’s going on in Paris's Pompidou Centre entitled: “Various Voids, a retrospective” which is basically various rooms left completely starker’s.
Apparently it “assembles in a totally original manner exhibitions that showed absolutely nothing, leaving empty the space for which they were designed.”
People are able to walk through the dozen rooms and experience “Emptiness also represents a form of radicalness” personally it doesn’t sit well with me as ‘art’ but that’s probably because I like more art a little more visually stimulating!
But then again kudos to the artists for managing to sell this idea to people to such an extent there’s an exhibition dedicated to white-wash installation walls.
