Le Silo
Marines, France
A former concrete grain silo evoking modernist architecture transformed into an exhibition space, for the private collection of the Billarant family. The renovation was decided with Dominique Perrault and led by a young architect, Xavier Prédine, now offering an exhibition space.
The collection consists of works by about forty artists whom they met for the most part in the 80s and 90s.
This is the case in Europe by François Morellet, Niele Toroni, Daniel Buren, Claude Rutaut, Bertrand Lavier, Peter Downsbrough, alan Charlton, Stanley Brouwn ...
In the United States Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Fred Sandback, Kawara On, Lawrence Wiener, Dan Flavin, Sol Lewitt ...
They also supported very early artists like Felice Varini, Philippe Thomas, Michel Verjux, Cécile Bart ...
