The exhibition 'Les Archipels réinventés' (Reinvented Archipelagos) presents all the works awarded by the Prix Fondation d'entreprise Ricard (Ricard Prize), which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Since 1999, the Prize has paid tribute to an artist who is representative of the young French scene. This anniversary exhibition illustrates the commitment that has been shown, right from the start, by the Pompidou Centre which continues to enrich its contemporary art collections as a result of this close collaboration.
The exhibition brings together the ten works which have entered the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art since the creation of the Ricard Prize and reveals a generation of artists in the same way that you would explore an archipelago. The works exhibited are lots of 'small islands' to be revisited.
These creations demonstrate the revival of visual art forms in France in the course of the last decade, and through these creations, critical proposals are promoted of the different exhibition organisers supported by the Foundation, which, by selecting the artists, contributed in defining and highlighting the issues concerning this emerging scene.
