Contemporary Art Foundation Emerige
Ile Seguin, Paris
Architects: RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize 2017)
Missions: Artistic and cultural direction
Dates: 2017 - 2020
As its artistic director, Jérôme Sans contributed between 2017 and 2020 to the development of the infrastructures of the future contemporary art foundation initiated by Emerige within the Ile Seguin complex in western Paris. Composed of a contemporary art centre, a multiplex of cinemas and a hotel focused on contemporary creation, this ambitious complex will be one of the most important in Europe.
The 5600 square metre centre was designed by Catalan architects RCR Arquitectes, winners of the prestigious Pritzker Prize 2017. Multidisciplinary, the foundation will put into perspective the ways in which current art dialogues with all fields of creation, mixing the young creation supported by Emerige since the creation of its Emerige Revelations Prize in 2014 with internationally renowned practices.
