Eva Jospin's Cardboard Sculptures Reimagine Ruinart's Heritage
Ruinart, the oldest champagne house established in 1729, has selected French artist Eva Jospin (born 1975 in Paris) to reinterpret its history and values for this year's Carte Blanche program. The collaboration was revealed at the Promenade(s) exhibition held at Le Carreau du Temple in Paris. Known for her detailed cardboard sculptures, Jospin graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2002. Frédéric Panaïotis, Ruinart's Chef de Cave, highlighted the importance of sustainability in light of global warming's effects on vineyards. Jospin compared Ruinart's vineyards and Crayères to underground cathedrals. This partnership will be featured at significant international fairs. Ruinart's art patronage dates back to 1896, with previous artists like Liu Bolin and Vik Muniz. For its 300th anniversary in 2029, the house has commissioned works focusing on biodiversity and sustainability.
