Nilufar Gallery is pleased to participate to Genius Loci, an exclusive series of immersive exhibitions 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 and their galleries. This year, the exhibition is held in Gio Ponti-designed iconic French villa, L'Ange Volant, Garches.
To complete the setting Nilufar is showcases a selection of pieces that include design masterpieces by Gio Ponti, BBPR, Ico Parisi, Piero Fornasetti, more contemporary choices like Roberto Giulio Rida, Studio Nucleo and Sophie Dries and special artworks by Gio Ponti, Jonathan Trayte, Märta Måås-Fjetterström and Nao Matsunaga that were acquired by Nina Yashar throughout the years.
The pieces are set in a site-specific diffuse installation throughout the house and were carefully picked from gallery founder Nina Yashar and the curator of Genius Loci: Marion Vignal. Nilufar confirms once again the curatorial path of Nina Yashar, who’s aim is always to create a meaningful dialogue between the past and the present developing an hybrid language that fascinates the eye and stimulates curiosity. “The selection we made with Marion Vignal is a mix between vintage and contemporary and is the result of an accurate research among my collection of Ponti and other designers and artists. I think that today, more than ever, is important to put different decades in relation, to create awareness in our sector and share our knowledge with a large audience,” shares Nina Yashar, founder of the gallery. “The opportunity to showcase these works in such an incredible building is a rare occasion and a meaningful experience for the gallery,” she says.
