NEW TAKES ON THE COLLECTION Over the past decade, the CNAP has further expanded its mission through involvement with museums, art centres, regional contemporary art collections, art schools, associations, events, and contemporary art festivals and biennales. The CNAP deploys its activities of support to artistic creation and production, short-term and long-term loans, project partnerships and State commissions, forging a “virtuous circle” that places the CNAP, as a vehicle for national cultural policy, at the heart of the contemporary art network. Over the years, these activities have materialised a desire to approach the collection from a variety of angles and thus demonstrate not only its size but also its huge diversity. Taking a new approach each year, the CNAP has staged a series of exhibitions in partnership with a region of France or as part of a major contemporary art event in or outside France. In 2007 it organised exhibitions in the city of Amiens; in 2009 it was a partner to TILT, with exhibitions in eleven museums in France’s Centre region. At nationwide level, in 2006 the CNAP organised Les Visiteurs in partnership with 20 listed monuments; in 2010 it was part of Diagonales, a year-long event across twenty different venues (museums, regional contemporary arts collections, art schools, etc.) in France, Luxemburg and Belgium. In 2011, museums in the Greater Lille area took part in Collector at Lille’s Tripostal to show important works from the CNAP collections. The event attracted more than 180,000 visitors. In 2012, in partnership with the Loop Video Art Fair, the CNAP staged Número tres, de la casa a la fábrica at the Virreina Centre de la Imatge in Barcelona. Multi-form exhibitions such as these are an opportunity to develop different takes on the collection, by inviting independent curators, conservators, directors, and the artists themselves to suggest choices that highlight iconic works. Segments of the collection that attract less attention or are less frequently shown can be another focus, such as graphic arts, photography, acoustic works and new media. Another recent exhibition, Explorateurs at the Musée de l’Abbaye Sainte-Croix in Les Sables d’Olonne, showcased works on the theme of exploration. The CNAP has also given two artists carte blanche to curate an exhibition of works from the collection: Marc Bembekoff’s The Mystery Spot at the Fondation Ricard in 2012, and Patrick Tosani’s Des images comme des oiseaux at La Friche la Belle de Mai art centre in Marseille, in 2013. These exhibitions are also an opportunity to promote the current art scene in France. For example, Documents pour une information alternative at Rencontres Arles Photographies in 2012 compiled works by photographers from the National Photography School in Arles; L’Origine des choses is an exhibition of work by young artists in France, to be held at the Centrale for Contemporary Art in Brussels in 2013. The exposure which these exhibitions and events provides has drawn attention to a number of artists and themes and, directly or indirectly, led to loan requests from new institutions. 21 View of The Mystery Spot, Fondation Ricard, Paris, September 2012.

ENGAGING THE PUBLIC WITH ARTISTIC CREATION MEDIATION AND RESOURCES The Centre national des arts plastiques is committed to creating opportunities for people to experience the works in its collections through a number of mechanisms. Whether for State commissions, short-term or long-term loans, mediation mechanisms seek to develop a new, warmer and lasting relationship between art and the general public based on dialogue and discussion, as part of a genuine policy to educate people in the arts and culture. Working with partner organisations, the CNAP ensures that these dialogue-based mediation and learning mechanisms are introduced, together with resources tailored to a range of publics. To address the educational aspects of arts and culture, the CNAP maintains close ties with professionals in the fields of education, social affairs and mediation, with particular reference to the key role of the professional mediator. In addition, it implements long-term partnerships with institutional intermediaries, such as the national teacher documentation databank, regional educational authorities, or the Ministry of Culture and Communication’s disability programme, and other cultural organisations to compile a substantial educational resource on the theme of contemporary art. Specific mediation programmes and resources are systematically set up whenever the CNAP installs or reactivates an artwork in a public space. 24 Re-activation of Jardin suspendu by Mona Hatoum, 2012.
