What they do
Founded in 1997 through the will of the Ministry of Culture and Communication to create a new type of higher education institution for the arts, Le Fresnoy was conceived as a studio for producing full-scale works. For two years, it welcomes students of all nationalities. Their curriculum ranges between traditional visual arts (cinema, photography) and digital creation (installations, interactive devices).
Every year, Le Fresnoy produces more than 50 new works that are presented to the public, professionals and the general public alike, in Le Fresnoy’s exhibition spaces in the autumn, as part of the event called Panorama.
In a building redesigned by the Franco-American architect Bernard Tschumi, it also offers the public, throughout the year, major contemporary art exhibitions, film programmes, concerts, performances, talks…
For the Plaine Images ecosystem, it is a true laboratory for ideas, innovation and novel uses of technology. Numerous collaborations exist with companies as well as with certain research laboratories involved in the Sciences and Cultures of the Visual project located on the 1st floor of the Imaginarium, Plaine Images’ powerhouse.
Year founded: 1997
