The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain turns 40, with countless memories and as many futures. An important anniversary, at the brink of a new era, and the opportunity to tell its tale in an exceptional series of podcasts.
But as Alain Dominique Perrin, President and founder of the Fondation, puts it so well: “You don’t archive your memories like you archive your files.” So, let’s trace back this ever-alive story in a different way. And let us be guided by the undulating memories and facetious voices of AD Perrin and of those without whom none of this would have happened.
From the first exploits of Jouy-en-Josas to the revolutions of Raspail, unforgettable exhibitions and lesser-known anecdotes, this series, with interviews never heard before, gives shape to this counter-story, this monument of contemporary art that has never stopped making a difference, always defying conventions.

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.
