21_21 DESIGN SIGHT

The Fondation Cartier pour lʼart contemporain is a private cultural institution whose mission is to promote all fields of contemporary artistic creation to the international public through a program of temporary exhibitions, live performances, and lectures. Created in 1984 by the Maison Cartier, its historic center is located in Paris in a building designed by the architect Jean Nouvel, a creative space for artists and encounters with the public. Fostering surprising and unexpected encounters between artists, scientists, philosophers, musicians, and architects from around the world, the Fondation Cartier pour lʼart contemporain has over the years developed a program of distinctive contemporary art exhibitions on subjects ranging from science to cinema and dance to design, and has built a unique collection that brings together more than 2,000 works by 500 artists of 50 different nationalities. In recent years the Fondation has initiated partnerships with major institutions around the world, organizing exhibitions in cities such as Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Milano and Shanghai.

From photography to architecture, design and painting, Japanese artists have been part of the Fondation Cartierʼs program and collection for more than 30 years, as shown by the many portraits of Japanese creators gathered at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3. In the last three decades, the Fondation has been instrumental in revealing the Japanese cultural and artistic scene to the European public. In total 14 exhibitions dedicated to Japanese artists have been held at the Fondation Cartier in Paris
