DISCUSSION: GARANCE PRIMAT WITH SAMUEL GROSS

The exhibition ROOTS will open its doors this Sunday, 21 December. To mark the occasion, you are invited to visit the exhibition free of charge from 10 am to 6 pm.

At 11 am, a round table will bring together Garance Primat and Samuel Gross, co-curators of the exhibition, for a conversation about this new project.

Garance Primat is a French collector and entrepreneur who has developed her own sensitivity to art. Under her direction, the Domaine des Étangs in Charente Limousine has become home to a contemporary art collection shaped as a poetic echo of the surrounding natural landscape.

Samuel Gross is a curator and art critic. He has worked as Director of the Fondation Speerstra in Apples; as Artistic Director of Galerie Evergreene in Geneva; and as Assistant Curator at MAMCO, Geneva’s Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. From 2016 to 2020, he served as Chief Curator of the Istituto Svizzero in Milan, Rome and Palermo, and later oversaw the exhibitions programme at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva. He is currently a curator at Fondation Opale.
