Press Release - Paris, 6 May 2021
Located at 1 Cours Paul Ricard, in Saint Lazare, right in the
heart of Paris, this new multidisciplinary venue, whose layout was
entrusted to the firm NeM / Niney et Marca Architectes, features a
main exhibition space spanning 300m². A 112-seat auditorium and a
modular foyer will host conferences, performances and temporary
installations. The Pantruchoise team (Franck Baranger, Pauline
Labrousse, Nicolas Chatellain and Edouard Bobin) will manage “Café
Mirette”, named in honour of Paul Ricard’s wife. The entrance to
the Foundation, the café will house a library and a bookshop
accessible to all, which will provide locals and visitors alike
with a warm and friendly place to meet. The Foundation, accessible
to all free of charge, will operate as a platform supporting
artists, with the same ambition it has had since its creation: to
raise the profile of the young contemporary scene in France and
throughout the world. To achieve this, it will make even greater
use of the resources provided by a global Group that has 86
subsidiaries. In these new spaces, the Pernod Ricard Corporate
Foundation will roll out a “pioneering and audacious” programme
according to its Director Colette Barbier. Retaining its human
scale, it will continue to nurture this very special relationship
it has developed with artists by increasing the opportunities for
encounters and interaction. Since opening in 1998, the Foundation
has featured more than 1,000 artists, invited by 250 curators as
part of 150 exhibitions. Not having its own collection, its
identity is shaped by those who bring it to life on a daily basis –
artists, curators, authors, intellectuals, and the general
public.
For its opening on 19 May, the Foundation will give free reign
to artist Bertrand Dezoteux, guest curator of the group exhibition
Le Juste Prix until 12 June, in which the real and the virtual
collide. Then, between 21 June and 31 July, it will host a personal
exhibition by the artist Isabelle Cornaro (recipient of the Pernod
Ricard Award in 2010) based on her film making. To add to the
artistic experience, the Foundation is also developing a new and
interactive virtual gallery to mark the occasion.
Alexandre Ricard, Chairman & CEO of Pernod Ricard and
President of the Foundation, said “The opening of the Pernod Ricard
Corporate Foundation’s new location marks another stage in our
Group’s history, a symbol of our enduring commitment to creation.
We are delighted to be able to provide Paris with a new artistic
venue in the heart of the vibrant Saint Lazare district, which will
contribute to the dynamism of the capital’s culture life and to the
“artistic conviviality” that we wish to share as widely as
possible.”
