These models are imitated all over the world, such as the Palais de Tokyo, which he co-founded in Paris and co-directed for the first six years together with Nicolas Bourriaud, before becoming the director of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing from 2008 to 2012. In addition to his publications, he was creative director and editor-in-chief of the French cultural magazine L'Officiel Art and has curated numerous international exhibitions, including the Taipei Biennial (2000), the Lyon Biennial (2005), and major monographic exhibitions such as Li Qing at the Prada Rong Zhai Foundation in Shanghai (2019), Erwin Wurm at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade (2022) as well as the installation Au cours des mondes by Alicja Kwade on Place Vendôme in Paris, and the Festival Noor Riyadh, Saudi (2023), Frieder Burda Museum (2024), Doug Aitken at Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul (2024-2025).
