True to its core mission, the Palais de Tokyo is immensely active in supporting young artists. Since it first started in September 2006, the Modules program has become a tremendous tool for experimentation, the promotion of young artists and emerging French creativity, thanks in particular to the support of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint
Laurent since 2010.
In 2012, the number and duration of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent Modules are
increasing, going up to five or more modules every two months, reflecting the dynamism, vitality and eclecticism of the contemporary art scene.
They are held in public areas that are accessible free of charge. Small and large rooms, corridors, and secret thoroughfares are the setting for small-format exhibitions, daring interventions and experiments. They represent both a laboratory for creative artists and the building of surprises offered to connoisseurs and amateur art enthusiasts alike. This program, a real hub of activity, creates the atmosphere of amazement and permanent discovery that allows the public to share in the continual quest by the Palais de Tokyo teams in search of new talents.
