The article announces the exhibition “The Monkey and the Clay” at Fondation d’entreprise Martell in Cognac, which explores how artists can reframe contemporary challenges toward a more harmonious, balanced future that considers all forms of life, human and more-than-human.
This exhibition matters because it positions artists as key agents in addressing ecological and societal crises, reflecting a growing trend in the art world to engage with environmental and philosophical questions through curatorial practice. It also highlights the role of corporate foundations in supporting such critical discourse.
