The French Heritage Society’s New York Chapter kicked off its 2012 Cultural Season with a private curator-led viewing of Le Cabinet de Curiosités, an installation conceived by Thierry W. Despont and presented by Marlborou and Steinitz galleries.

The event, organized by Co-Chairmen, Guy N. Robinson and Odile de Schiétère-Longchampt, was an opportunity for the New York contingency of FHS to meet its new Cultural Chairman, author and historian, David Garrard Lowe. Lowe will be giving the first lecture of the NY Chapter’s inaugural series “Living Heritage” at the French Consulate in New York on February 16.
Le Cabinet de Curiosités is a unique, off-site installation in which contemporary art converges with 18th- and 19th-Century antiquities in a setting that blurs the confines of time and categorization. Le Cabinet de Curiosités, conceived and curated by Thierry W Despont, is located in the former headquarters of New York Mercantile Exchange at 6 Harrison Street. The exhibition presents work by Marlborough artists Thierry W Despont, Manolo Valdés and the late Claudio Bravo, as well as rare antique furniture from the Steinitz Collection. Le Cabinet de Curiosités is open to the public Tuesday through Thursday, 11am – 5pm, through the end of February.

French Heritage Society was founded in 1982 as a two way street for Americans and French to share their love of historic architecture. FHS has contributed to almost 500 restoration grants and helped secure almost $18 million dollars for historic monuments, buildings and gardens in every department in France and to properties in the United States that reflect France’s historic influence. FHS has intervened after numerous natural disasters such as the 1999 storms in France and Hurricanes Hugo and Katrina in the U.S. FHS has also organized over 300 unique student internship opportunities in both countries and offers enriching cultural trips in France and the U.S. for its members. There are 13 Chapters in the United States and 1 in Paris.
