Sound installation in the garden of Villa André Bloc
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1983, the Villa André Bloc is the work of the artist and publisher André Bloc, who remained famous for his magazine "L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui".
Built in 1951, this residence "house-workshop" is characteristic of the modern movement. Defending the idea of a synthesis of the arts between sculpture and architecture, André Bloc realized from 1960 to 1964 a monumental "interior sculpture" named "Cabin II", in bricks painted with lime, as well as a natural red brick tower that offers a panoramic view of Paris.
In order to preserve the creative spirit that animates Villa Bloc, Natalie Seroussi has Bloc’s interior sculptures interact with contemporary creation every year, inviting an artist to create an in situ installation.
Since 2008, the public has been able to discover the proposals of Ernesto Neto, Malachi Farrell, Michel François, Mathieu Briand, Michel François, Tobias Putrith, Phil Niblock, Didier Faustino, Bruno Gironcoli and Anita Molinero.
