L’ANGE VOLANT,
GIO PONTI

16.10 – 24.10 2021

Genius Genius Loci is an exclusive series of immersive exhibitions, produced by Marion Vignal, setting up a dialogue between architecture, design and contemporary art. Each edition offers an inside view of a private residence of exceptional artistic note, revealing the spirit of the place by engaging a conversation with invited artists. Conceived as an emotion-filled stroll through the architecture, Genius Loci woos the public into an intimate experience of sight, sound and olfaction. A here and now that summons all the senses. Genius Loci is an itinerant project, launching in Paris and progressing to Venice, Brussels, Milan, London and Los Angeles.
