                                            ZOO Magazine was at the Opening of Fondation Cartier this week In the heart of Paris, beneath the timeless gaze of the Palais-Royal, the Fondation Cartier opens a new era at 2 Place du Palais-Royal — a luminous space (8500 square meters) envisioned by Jean Nouvel, where architecture breathes with history and light. The new building is literally a stone’s throw away from the Louvre. The title Exposition Générale echoes the 19th century exhibitions of objects and clothing once held in the Grands Magasins du Louvre. The inaugural exhibition, Exposition Générale, is curated by Grazia Quaroni and Béatrice Grenier.  Designed with the sensitivity of Formafantasma, the space embodies a living conversation between art, science, and the city itself. There are art works from Malick Sibide, Bill Viola, Olga de Armaral, James Turrell, David Hammons, Claudia Andujar and Sally Gabori, just to name a few…
ZOO Magazine is deeply grateful to witness this remarkable rebirth — to Cartier, Mr.Chris Dercon and the Fondation Cartier team, thank you for this moment of beauty and inspiration at the crossroads of past and future.
On October 25, the Fondation Cartier will open its new
premises to the public at 2 Place du Palais-Royal.
