Sure, a trip to Paris would be incomplete without a tete-a-tete with the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, but there are more intimate ways to peruse the art world in the French capital. While the halls of Paris’ most renowned museums are teeming with foreign tourists and twinkling flashbulbs, dozens of galleries in the city draw Parisians out of cafes and into the modern art world. Among all of the galleries currently shining in the city of light the Fondation Cartier is one of the brightest. This season, the 14th arrondissement organization turns its focus towards the ideas of native identity and of being rooted, and uprooted. Native Land, Stop Eject confronts the consequences of globalization, where native peoples are constantly threatened with exile and where massive migration has greased the wheels of modernity. The extensive mixed-media exhibit fills its halls with art-loving Parisians and out-of-towners in the know. New York Habitat apartments are filling quickly this winter, but travelers can still find dozens of available apartments in the 14th arrondissement that fill their artistic tastes.
Native Land, Stop Eject focuses around an artistic and intellectual dialogue between filmmaker and photographer, Raymond Depardon, and philosopher Paul Virilio. Depardon’s work focuses on explored native lands and the world of farmers, deftly combining both political and poetic considerations. Writer Paul Virilio has spent much of his career toying with the notions of speed, exodus, the frailty of geography and the pollution of distances. The best way to enjoy this offering is by attending one of the Nomadic Nights evening presentations running along side the original exhibit. The series includes film screenings, live concerts and mixed-media presentations that add the joys of an evening out with the already engaging exhibit.

These accommodations in Paris look out of this world! If I had 6000 Euros to spend per month I would definitely rent this apartment.
i like it mmh!
I really liked this Parisian Furnished Apartment (PA 1516). It looks amazing, the real loft style…. Convenient to go to the Cartier Foundation.
Honestly, any apartment in Paris would be great to stay in for a while. I really wish I could be see spiringtime in Paris…if only once!
Bravo to The Cartier Foundation for devoting space and time to Native Identity! This adds to the allur of Paris where Art and Intellect always meet and share with the world. Especially in a time when so much id going on in the world we lose focus of who and what we are.
This Paris apartment rocks!!
Not only do I love art…I collect it and I can’t wait to see what’s in store at the Foundation Cartier. I’ve heard so many great things about it and I would love to stay in one of the vacation rentals advertised by New York Habitat; they are most exquisite.
