Episode 5 : "To go explore and always defy conventions": to be truly Parisian and inherently international

Episode 6 : "A fondation, not an institution": To keep pioneering and daring throughout time

With time the Fondation became diverse: multidisciplinary, international and above all nomadic. And we let ourselves be led by the latter, this essential value and its incarnation in the Nomadic nights, to finish exploring this unique history, reflecting 40 decisive years.   So, at a time when art itself does not play with the same cards, what future is the Cartier House looking towards?   Fascinating and thrilling, this last episode refuses to delve into nostalgia and rather reasserts the visionary strength of the Fondation and its significance in the world of contemporary art.   Along with our witnesses, we cultivate the past to sow the seeds of a desirable future.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 5 : "To go explore and always defy conventions": to be truly Parisian and inherently international

One foot in Paris, the other one abroad: by settling in on Boulevard Raspail, the Fondation opens up a little more to the world. Led by transparency, what changes does it experience with this new building as a starting point, and where does its influence extend to?   This episode, which evokes the balance between here and there found by the Fondation, is a moment to examine this specific relationship it maintains between its public and its friends.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 4 : "Ma non sono morte, why do you want to do a retrospective?": a contemporary, alive, diverse and limitless creation.

How to make a program as a foundation that wants to be neither museum nor institution? How to stay alive and not repeat oneself? By staying attuned to the concerns of the world and the arts, and by offering a space for living artists to be free.    Each in their own way, our witnesses let us hear what the Fondation has that others don't: an episode to be taken as an exciting conversation on the art of programming and a manifest for multidisciplinarity. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3 "There is nothing wrong in being a sponsor": behind the scenes of Léotard's law and the astonishing village of Jouy-en-Josas

To understand what makes the Fondation so unique, we must remember a law that would not exist without it: Léotard's law of 1986. In this episode we find out about its secrets.   We also open the gates of the remarkable village of Jouy-en-Josas, that became a creative haven for artists in residence and for all of Cartier's teams. A "brie quarter", a café, a park where the principles and outline of the Fondation are drawn up.   With the Velvet Underground's concert, memorable exhibitions, a collection in the making and a relationship with the audience: the Fondation Cartier is taking shape.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 2 : "To give back to César what is César's”: the story of an exceptional birth

In this flashback-like episode we remember past times and a revolution to come: the Fondation Cartier's.   It's the 80's: the left gains power and nationalises major industrial groups. In the midst of all this, the luxury goods industry is trying to find itself, and artists' counterfeits are blooming around the world. What could the Maison Cartier's role be in all this? We owe the answer to César and his visionary candour: it is necessary to build a foundation to shelter, represent, protect and encourage contemporary creation. Something no-one in the French luxury industry had ever imagined and that artists deeply needed.   In this second episode, we will evoke the birth of the Fondation in all its forms and from every angle: a story we think we know, but one we'll be telling differently thanks to new accounts and precious archives.   ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
