The LUMA Foundation was established in 2004 to support the activities of independent artists and pioneers, as well as institutions, working in the fields of art and photography, publishing, documentary, and multimedia. The Foundation enabled the exhibitions of Philippe Parreno « Anywhere, Anywhere out of the World » to be produced at Palais de Tokyo as well as « H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS » at the Park Avenue Armory and « Third Mind » curated by Ugo Rondinone at Palais de Tokyo in 2007.The foundation especially supports artistic projects combining a particular interest in environmental issues, human rights, or education with culture in its broadest sense.
The LUMA Foundation, founded in 2004, and LUMA Arles, founded in 2014 in support of the project in Arles, are currently developing an experimental cultural centre in the Parc des Ateliers in the city of Arles, France, working with the architects Frank Gehry and Annabelle Selldorf. This ambitious project envisions an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to the production of exhibitions and ideas, research, education, and archives and is supported by a growing number of public and private partnerships. Construction started immediately after breaking ground in April 2014, with opening scheduled for 2018.
