L’Avancée is a hanging wall dedicated to emerging artists and a way of extending the exhibition space into the living space. During the year 21-22, the Pernod Ricard Foundation is partnering with the Ecole des Beaux-arts de Paris and the « exhibition professions » program. Every month, from October to July, a student is invited to take over the wall and to accompany his or her work with an exchange with the public.

L’Avancée is a hanging wall dedicated to emerging artists and a way of extending the exhibition space into the living space. During the year 21-22, the Pernod Ricard Foundation is partnering with the Ecole des Beaux-arts de Paris and the « exhibition professions » program. Every month, from October to July, a student is invited to take over the wall and to accompany his or her work with an exchange with the public.
Located in the heart of the café-library of the new Pernod Ricard Foundation, l’Avancée is an exhibition space dedicated to emerging artists. A way to extend the exhibition space into the living space and vice versa. L’Avancée is also, possibly, a promontory or a ridge for all young artists, still students: a way to move forward, a little timidly, by playing on the surface of a wall that will soon, in the exhibition spaces that they will not fail to invest in the future, will not cease to multiply. With this new initiative, the Pernod Ricard Foundation reinforces its role in the young artistic scene in France.
During the 21/22 season, the Pernod Ricard Foundation invites the Beaux-Arts de Paris and its « exhibition professions » program.
As part of our collaboration with the Beaux-arts de Paris, Mathilde Rossello (b. 1994) inaugurates the « L’Avancée » program with a pictorial installation entitled « Vinalement Eva vacille » presented in the Foundation’s café-bookshop.
One of the big challenges of our time is to make knowledge transformative, so that it awakens the imagination, makes the world more interesting, detoxifies the sadness of “we know” and “it’s nothing but”.[1]
