The Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard presented its eighteenth annual prize, curated by Isabelle Cornaro.

The prize exhibition, featuring works by eight artists displayed in the Foundation’s own premises and the adjoining cinema, highlights not only the diversity of artistic practices on the modern art scene but above all the prevalence of contemporary iconography drawing on images bearing some relation to current affairs or simply marked by the information circuit.

The artists also share a fascination with the original context of the forms they work with and how they are transformed in and through theworkofart. They can be said to share an interest in montage, both in the actual process of editing – for instance, using framing device stop in down bodily movements or retain only material essential to the narrative – and as alterations to temporal continuity, questioning how narrative segments are arranged in succession.

The works on display, whether films, static visual art, performances, or installations, are thus on the cusp between capturing movement and pinning it down, between representation and incarnation. In this sense, they meet a desire to create visual situations.
