GENESIS ART INITIATIVES

Genesis celebrates art as an authentic experience to discover the truly meaningful and valuable by collaborating with leading institutions and cultural visionaries. In 2024, Genesis Art Initiatives was launched with a multiyear partnership with The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

THE MET PARTNERSHIP

THE GENESIS FACADE COMMISSION​

Each year, The Genesis Facade Commission invites an artist to create new site-specific works of art at the facade niches of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The annual commission series establishes a welcoming and unique dialogue between the artist, The Met's audiences, and the art community that stretches from the heart of New York City across the globe. The 2024 exhibition, titled The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul, Long Tail Halo, features four new sculptural works by the preeminent artist Lee Bul.
