Genius Loci takes its friends to Marrakech for an exclusive moment of art and architecture.
Genius Loci, passionate about art and architecture, invites its community to enjoy unique experiences in exceptional places. Founded on cultural transmission and exploration, it highlights the “spirit of place” by weaving together history, heritage and contemporary resonance.
From January 30 to February 2, 2025, Genius Loci is organizing a trip to Marrakech for the 1-54 fair, dedicated to contemporary African art. Participants will have the opportunity to visit emblematic sites on the Moroccan cultural scene, such as the recently reopened MACAAL, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and the Villa Oasis. Private collections, usually inaccessible to the public, will also open their doors to offer a privileged immersion in the Moroccan artistic universe.
Through this journey to Marrakech, Genius Loci pursues its mission of showcasing art and architecture in all their diversity, creating bridges between past and present, and building a community of enlightened enthusiasts around unforgettable moments of sharing. These discoveries will be punctuated by moments of exchange in riads and remarkable spaces, where art, architecture and heritage can be discussed, while soaking up the enchanting atmosphere of the Ochre city.
Genius Loci is an association founded in Paris in 2021 by curator Marion Vignal, with the aim of promoting architectural heritage and contemporary creation. Guided by the values of transmission and education, Genius Loci highlights the history of architecture while encouraging new production and dialogue between artistic disciplines.
Through a program of exhibitions-experiences and trips, the association aims to unite all audiences around architecture as a cultural foundation. It highlights hidden or little-known treasures from the history of architecture, and provides exceptional access to private spaces that are usually closed to the public, thus promoting their discovery and understanding. These spaces are contrasted with contemporary creations to reveal their artistic resonance and bring back to life the spirit that animates them. Each exhibition also provides an opportunity for current artists to express themselves through works or installations conceived in dialogue with these architectures.
Genius Loci offers an original approach to discovering art and architecture: private visits, exclusive encounters and themed trips enable visitors to plunge into the soul of a region and appreciate its rich heritage. The association brings together enthusiasts and patrons of the arts to share their knowledge and inspiration.
Through all its actions, the Genius Loci association helps to raise public awareness of the preservation and conservation of architectural heritage, and actively supports contemporary creation through cartes blanches and special commissions.
