The beautiful history of contemporary art at Hotel des Marronniers continues! Indeed, this year and for the 3rd time, our hotel is part of the event called Parcours Saint-Germain. The event aims to present works of art in different places of this mythical district. The opportunity to reconnect with the artistic soul of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Thus, cafes, shops, hotels, … take part in this edition 2018.
Contemporary art at Hotel des Marronniers could surprise you when you know the traditional Parisian atmosphere that reigns in our walls. But when the artist puts his works in the garden and the lounge of the hotel, everything takes place and the whole makes sense.
This year, it is Stefan Nikolaev who comes to us. He presents 3 very distinct works, to be discovered first of all facing reception desk, then outside. A superb bronze bench, not wood as one might think, dominates the veranda from the terrace. At the front of the garden, it seems to have found its natural place. In the back of the garden is a beautiful candelabrum that illuminates the pergola and the outdoor sitting area. We thus wander in the middle of the works totally inscribed in the decoration. We forget that this is ephemeral as it is immersed in the environment.
Tonight, for the opening of the Parcours Saint-Germain, and like all the participating places, Hotel des Marronniers organizes a vernissage between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm. The artist Stefan Nikolaev will be there to discuss his work and meet the amateurs of the event. Then, with a map, each visitor will be able to go to the different places for the vernissage, like at our neighbor, the Hotel des 2 Continents, which welcomes the artist Luke James, and for the next 10 days since the event will end on June 10th.
Finally Contemporary Art at Hotel des Marronniers continues its history and it is always with great pleasure that we write it.
