The Fondation Cartier has developed a major commitment to the material, formal and technological research that permeates and redefines contemporary creativity.
Perpetuating the notion that art and artistic practices are the fruit of tools and specific techniques that have been produced and developed is a priority for the Fondation.
It has honoured via all of its collaborations with institutions of research and creation such as Homo Faber.
Running counter to the hegemony of the world of fine arts, this programming stems from a broader vision in which applied arts, functional design, fashion, artistic professions and craft are integral to the visual arts, aesthetics and techniques that inhabit the world.
