The exhibition Terre Natale opens this evening at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. This program was curated by Hervé Chandes and features works framed by artist Raymond Depardon and cultural theorist Paul Virilio. Stewdio’s Stewart Smith has been deeply involved in the design and production of Terre Natale: Exits II in collaboration with Elizabeth Diller, Jeremy Linzee, Robert Gerard Pietrusko, Laura Kurgan, Mark Hansen, Aaron Meyers, Michael Doherty, and Hans-Christoph Steiner.

Congratulations to Ben Rubin and his Ear Studio for their work on Exits I and much gratitude for their contributions to Exits II. A very special thank-you to Bernd Lintermann for contributing his panoramic projection system and incredibly sharp eyes. And finally, we are in great debt to our Cartier counterparts Francois Gemenne, Ilana Shamoon, and Marta Niedzwiecka who assisted us above and beyond the call of duty to ensure Exits II told a cohesive and well-translated story.
