The Fondation supports
More or less far from the spaces of the cours Paul Ricard, the Fondation is associated with different structures to promote its multiple programs and spread its support to artists of the French scene on the occasion of significant moments!
"Ensemble", Mira M. Yang's solo show
Curated by Kathrin Bentele, the exhibition of Mira M. Yang is the result of a close collaboration between the Fondation Pernod Ricard and the Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg: it will first take place in Fribourg from September 12 to November 13, 2026 (opening on Sept 11, 2026 at 6 p.m.) then in Paris from November 24 to February 6, 2027.
The project revolves around various gestures of translation and reinterpretation of the poorly documented work of Choi Seung-hee (1911-1969; also known as Sai Shōki), the first dancer from colonial Korea to have performed abroad, specifically in Paris. Among these initiatives is a sound translation, or "soundification", of dance movements in the form of a large-scale sound installation. The exhibition explores the possibility of creating a living archive of Choi Seung-hee’s work and experiments with different forms of notation and staging of artistic expression between dance and sound. In its two-chapter logic, the exhibition follows the dynamics of movement and circulation, inviting us to consider the inherent mutability of cultural forms.

HOUSE - "Gravity Ease Contract": a show curated by David Douard
Location: Halle am Berghain, Berlin
Date: 1-24 May 2026
Supported project: Exhibition
The second part of HOUSE showcases emerging and established artists who interact with the brutalist architecture of the place, through works by Julia Scher, Richard Hawkins, Akeem Smith, Rochelle Goldberg or Susan Philipsz, as well as a scenography by Celeste Burlina. Invited as a curator, David Douard extends his unique artistic practice and aesthetics to space. "Gravity Ease Contract" is the first exhibition he will organize in Germany, after "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty" at the Fondation Pernod Ricard, in Paris, in 2024, and the exhibition "They", which was held at the Consortium in Dijon in 2023.

Arash Nassiri's solo show
Co-produced with the Pernod Ricard Foundation, the exhibition will unfold in Chisenhale from January 17 to March 22, before being presented at the Fondation from May 12 to July 18, 2026 (Cur. Franck Balland).
"For his first solo exhibition in an institution, Arash Nassiri presents a sculptural and video installation. Centered on a sumptuous Beverly Hills mansion built in the 1980s by Iranian immigrants, this work explores how built spaces absorb and reflect stories of migration, displacement, and cultural hybridity."
