Sarah Sze, De nuit en jour / Night into Day

43 €

More than twenty years after her first solo show at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, American artist Sarah Sze presented from October 24, 2020 to March 7, 2021 two new sculptural installations in the exhibition spaces of Jean Nouvel’s iconic building. Commissioned by the Fondation Cartier, these large-scale works explore how the proliferation of images—printed in magazines, gleaned from the Web, intercepted from outer space—fundamentally changes our relation to physical objects, memories, and time.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Fondation Cartier conceived a richly illustrated catalog, designed in close collaboration with the artist, retracing the creation and the presentation of these two works. An essay by philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour, a conversation between Sarah Sze and Jean Nouvel, and a text by Leanne Sacramone, curator of the exhibition, offer a deeper understanding of these two works, as well as of the creative process of the artist and of the references that are omnipresent in her work.

Jean Nouvel

Following studies at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Bordeaux, Jean Nouvel (1945, Fumel, France) entered the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, graduating in 1971. His first job was as assistant to the architect Claude Parent. He then worked with the urbanist and essayist Paul Virilio before opening his own practice in 1970. Jean Nouvel’s approach to architecture—guided by context, history, and culture of the site—has brought him international renown. After his first major project in Paris, the Institut du Monde Arabe (1987), he has designed many architectural projects around the world : the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain Boulevard Raspail (Paris, 1994), the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum (Abu Dhabi, 2017), or the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai (Shanghai, 2021). In late 2025, another project was inaugurated in Paris, the new spaces of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain at 2 Place du Palais-Royal.
