2025년 말, 파리의 팔레 로얄에 위치한 카르티에 현대미술 재단이 새로운 공간을 선보일 예정입니다. 이번 프로젝트는 저명한 건축가 장 누벨과의 협력을 통해 이루어지며, 예술과 도시가 조화를 이루는 독특한 공간으로 변모할 것입니다. 카르티에 재단은 1984년 설립 이후 예술가 중심의 활동과 창의적 실험을 지속적으로 지원해 온 프랑스 최초의 기업 현대미술 재단으로, 이번 새로운 공간에서도 그 정신을 이어갈 계획입니다. 이제 아래에서 하나씩 확인해보겠습니다.
Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art to Open New Space with Jean Nouvel at the End of 2025

Another Paris landmark to unfold at Palais Royal
Fondation Cartier Celebrates 40th Anniversary
Founded in 1984, Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is France’s first corporate contemporary art foundation, consistently supporting artist-centered activities and creative experimentation. The foundation made a significant impact when it moved in 1994 to a glass building on Rue de Montparnasse, designed by architect Jean Nouvel.

New Space to Debut at Place du Palais-Royal in 2025
At the end of 2025, Fondation Cartier will unveil a new space in the heart of Paris at Place du Palais-Royal. This site, historically a Haussmannian building built during the time of Napoleon III, has a rich history as it was once used as Le Grand Hôtel du Louvre and Louvre des Antiquaires.
Jean Nouvel proposes a structure open to the city while respecting the historical context of the existing building. Through windows facing Rue de Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Rue de Rivoli, and Place du Palais-Royal, both visitors and passersby will encounter the art space and the city in a new way.

Transformable Art Space for Creative Experimentation

The new space, covering a total of 8,500㎡, will include 6,500㎡ of exhibition space and 1,200㎡ of public walkways. Notably, there will be five movable platforms, each allowing for vertical and flexible structures, enabling spatial transformations of up to 11 meters in height. This will allow artists to utilize the space itself as part of their work.
The foundation has expressed its ambition to continue a dynamic dialogue between contemporary culture and the city through this space. Fondation Cartier aims to become a platform for experimentation and communication, open to both the citizens of Paris and audiences from around the world, going beyond a simple art exhibition space.
