The Brittany Regional Contemporary Art Fund's (FRAC) collection contains over
4700 pieces from more than 500 artists, acquired since its creation in 1981. The
collection is made up of the major thematic groups - abstracts, the relationship
between art and landscape, ideas of art and history - as well as comprehensive
collections from Raymon Hains, Jacques Villeglé, Didier Vermeiren and Gilles
Mahé, amongst others. Frac Bretagne takes this collection across France and
abroad, and provides a full artistic agenda for the regional audience.
Funded by Brittany Regional Council, the Ministry of Culture and
Communication, DRAC Bretagne, and the City of Rennes, 2012 marks a significant
year in the organisation's development when it opens its doors to the public in
a new building designed by Odile Decq Benoît Cornette architects. Located in
Rennes, in the Beauregard area, the building is centred on vast wells of light
and houses three galleries, an archive, a café, and a library. With a 110 seat
auditorium as well as teaching and experimentation areas, Frac Bretagne will
offer a dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions from its own collection as
well as new art. This plethora of events are often organised in partnership with
its other events such as Ateliers de Rennes — biennale d’art contemporain.
