Upon moving to 40, rue de Sèvres in 2016, Kering has hosted European Heritage Days at its headquarters, marking the grand public opening of this address renowned for its exceptional architecture.
Ever since, the Pinault Collection and Balenciaga have each used the former Laennec hospital’s Croix Est chapel as space to showcase their own original exhibitions.

For the ninth consecutive year, Balenciaga will immersed the beholder in its archives with the exhibition “Les subtilités d’un dialogue”. A collection of six of the House’s hallmark features – namely, black, collars, sleeves, ornaments, sizes and silhouettes – served to highlight and deepen the connection between the works of Cristóbal Balenciaga and Demna.

Heritage Days sees the Pinault Collection exhibiting the works of Nairy Baghramian, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Trisha Donnelly, Anne Imhof, Mario Merz and Danh Vo through the exhibition “Éloge de l’espace”. Engaging with abstraction and human representations, viewers are encouraged to interact sensorially with the works and the space within the Laennec Chapel.

ARTER IS PLEASED TO ENSURE THE DELEGATED OPERATION and the associate production of this event.
