Located at The Island, our flagship headquarters in Paris, the Pernod Ricard Foundation is a multidisciplinary art space that is open to everyone and entirely free of charge. For over 20 years, the Foundation has hosted more than 1,000 artists, invited by 250 curators, across 150 exhibitions. Without a permanent collection, its identity is continually shaped by those who bring it to life - artists, curators, writers, thinkers, and the public. It stands for generosity and openness to art, embracing the evolving sensibilities of our time.
This year, the Foundation presented All the Messages are Emotional, an exhibition curated by Arlène Berceliot Courtin. Uniquely, all seven participating artists were jointly awarded the 2024 Pernod Ricard Prize - a collective recognition of their contribution. This exceptional edition of the award highlights the exhibition’s collaborative spirit and the shared vision of its participants.
The Foundation now places a growing focus on solo exhibitions by artists at pivotal moments in their careers. This shift was reflected in recent shows by Florence Jung, known for her discreet, situation-based interventions, and the Commaret siblings, whose collaborative practice explores memory and shared identity.
