Foundation Hippocrène Transforms Mallet-Stevens Building into 'Musée d'une nuit' in Paris

From October 3 to December 20, 2014, the Foundation Hippocrène converted its usual venue—the former agency of architect Mallet-Stevens in Paris—into the 'Musée d'une nuit'. This temporary museum took its name from a painting by Magritte. Typically dedicated to showcasing emerging European talent, the foundation's space underwent a winter transformation for this event. The initiative was documented in the February 2015 issue of artpress, specifically on page 27 of issue 419. The building's architectural significance, designed by Mallet-Stevens, provided a historic backdrop for the exhibition. While details on specific artworks or artists are not provided, the focus was on the conceptual shift from a foundation to a nocturnal museum. The event highlights the foundation's role in promoting young European creation through innovative, time-bound installations.
