Cartier is celebrating 100 years of Trinity with a series of pop-ups around the world.

Cartier’s iconic Trinity ring turns a youthful 100 this year and to mark the occasion, the French jewellery house has conceived Trinity 100, a commemorative pop-up exhibition, and sent it out on a whistle stop tour that kicked off in Shanghai in July and Singapore a couple of weeks later, with Tokyo in October, and a still secret city in the US in December.

Curated by the Paris-based artistic director Jérôme Sans and designed by Cartier’s in-house team, the exhibition artfully weaves a multitude of disciplines – not least, music, sculpture, digital art, couture fashion, video art, photography and even kinetic art – into the history, evolution and design of Trinity.

Spread over seven rooms on the second floor of The Arts House – a handsome fin de siècle riverside pile that was once Singapore’s parliament in the colonial days – the exhibition begins in a striking way with a video broadcast on three stacked semi-circular screens, the story of the three Cartier brothers, Louis, Pierre and Jacques, segueing into sepia-toned photographs of the three flagship boutiques the brothers each headed in Paris, London and New York.

Jérôme Sans’s bravura moment, though, was to commission 109 works by a global cabal of artists and presented in two capacious rooms as a sort of millennial cabinet de curiosités. The artists had only one short diktat: incorporate a circular story that represents Trinity.
