Villa Vassilieff

Villa Vassilieff is run by Bétonsalon - Center for Art and Research. It man­ages two sites: Bétonsalon - Centre d’art et de recherche and the Villa Vassilieff, two cul­tural orga­ni­za­tions of the City of Paris, labeled Centre d’art con­tem­po­rain d’intérêt national by the min­istry of Culture.

Villa Vassilieff, located in Montparnasse aims to recon­nect with its his­tory of an old artist’s studio by inviting artists and researchers to take a con­tem­po­rary look at this her­itage. The pro­gramme of Villa Vassilieff is ded­i­cated to un-explored resources and aims to rewrite and diver­sify the his­tory of art. With the sup­port of its first sponsor, Pernod Ricard, Villa Vassilieff leads the Pernod Ricard Fellowship, a res­i­dency pro­gram ded­i­cated to four inter­na­tional artists, researchers and cura­tors every year. Villa Vassilieff also col­lab­o­rates with museums and insti­tu­tions -such as the Pompidou Center- to offer artists numerous research and res­i­dency grants.
