In the desire to build a dynamic collection open to contemporary art, Natalie Seroussi has been inviting an artist since 2008 to conceive an in situ installation that comes into dialogue with the interior sculptures of André Bloc, a unique ensemble built in the 1950s in Meudon.
Classified as a historical monument since 1983, the Villa André Bloc is the work of the sculptor and publisher André Bloc, who has remained famous for his magazine "L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui". Built in 1951, this "house-workshop" residence is characteristic of the modern movement. Defending the idea of a synthesis of sculpture and architecture, André Bloc realized from 1960 to 1964 two "sculptures - cockpits", monumental brick constructions. The brick cockpit 2 painted with lime and the red brick tower that offers a panorama of Paris are above all a plastic experimentation of space that redefines the notion of habitat.
Every year Natalie Seroussi makes the sculptures - habitacles de Bloc dialogue with contemporary creation. Since 2008, the public has thus been able to discover the proposals of Ernesto Neto, Malachi Farrell, Michel François, Mathieu Briand, Michel François, Tobias Putrith, Phil Niblock, Didier Faustino and Bruno Gironcoli. In 2020 Natalie Seroussi invites Anita Molinero to present a practicable sculpture.
