If diamonds is your first association that pops into mind when someone says Cartier, it's time to discover the contemporary art side of the brand.

Since its inception in 1984, Foundation Cartier has been a vessel that carried the brand's aspirations to leave a footprint in the art world, showcasing established contemporary artists and support the young ones. The museum in Paris presented part of their 2017 program recently.

Due to renovation, until April the audience would not be able to visit the museum, designed by Pritzker Prize architect Jean Nouvel. Until reopening, you can rediscover the collection through never-seen videos Les Coulisses d'une Collection and Et transparence.

On April 19th the museum will reopen to the public with Autophoto exhibition, followed by a selection of major works from the collection at Seoul Museum of Art, opening on May 31st. An installation Exit, commissioned by the Foundation and shown during the COP21 as well as at other international occasions, will be presented in Australia and Asia.

如果别人说起 Cartier 时你的第一反应是钻石的话，那么你是时候去发现这个品牌在当代艺术化的一面。

自1984成立以来，卡地亚基金会一直是承载了品牌在艺术世界留下足迹的媒介，展示了当代艺术家的能力并且支持着年轻人。巴黎博物馆最近展出了他们的2017年度计划的一部分。

由于装修，观众直到四月都不能去参观博物馆，而装潢是由普利兹克建筑奖的建筑师 Jean Nouvel 设计的。等到重新开放的时候，你就能够在前所未有的视频中重新发现过去的系列，比如 Les Coulisses d'une Collection 和 Et transparence。

4月19日，博物馆将重新开放并且进行向公众 Autophoto 展览，紧随其后的就是于5月31日开幕的首尔美术馆藏品的展览。之后的展览还包括在亚洲和澳大利亚进行的 Exit，本次展览由基金会委托在 COP21 期间以及其他国际场合展览。
