Jordi Machí presents Villa Esperanza | Art Exhibition
- All Day | Tuesday May 05, 2026 - Wednesday September 30, 2026
- Good Chemistry | Ace Hotel Athens
- 47-53 Wentworth Ave.
Villa Esperanza is an imaginary city built through painting. Spanish artist Jordi Machí constructs a fictional residential complex where modernist architecture, constant summer light, and quietly suspended moments invite you to wander through spaces that feel almost too perfect. Each work is a different apartment. Each façade, a scene you finish yourself.
