Antonia Scintilla on Leading Fondation Pernod Ricard's New Chapter

Since January 2023, Antonia Scintilla, 42, has held the position of director at Fondation Pernod Ricard in Paris. In 2021, the foundation, associated with Pernod Ricard, relocated to a contemporary facility adjacent to Gare Saint-Lazare, featuring a 350-square-meter area that encompasses exhibition spaces, an auditorium, a bookstore, and a café. Scintilla, who has been part of the foundation for 14 years, managed this move, which resulted in a doubling of visitor attendance. Upcoming exhibitions include the first German showcase of Wilfrid Almendra in June 2025 and Arash Nassiri in 2026. "Aperto," an artistic research lab, launched in January 2024, with current resident Lou Villapadierna working alongside the University of Montreal. Founded in 1995, the foundation collaborates with the Centre Pompidou to honor young French artists. The ongoing exhibition "Miss Recuerdo" will be available until April 19, 2025.
