Fondation Cartier – 30, May 10 – September 21, 2014
This year, the Fondation Cartier is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special exhibition programme. Founded by the luxury jewellery maker Cartier in 1984, the foundation commissioned an exhibition space to display the works of the world's most prominent contemporary artists. Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, the space opened its doors ten years later, in 1994.
In the 30 years since its inception, the Fondation Cartier has become one of the most respectable contemporary art institutions in Paris, with a collection of around 1,000-1,200 works by about 400 artists of 30 different nationalities. The central event of this year's anniversary celebrations is Vivid Memories, a multimedia exhibition that will feature new artworks every two months. Among those whose oeuvres will be shown is Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake - who plans on creating a special light installation in the foundation's garden in cooperation with Artemide - as well as Australian-born designer Marc Newson and American film director David Lynch, who will put on a garden theatre show of films by various artists.
