Les Ateliers de Rennes at the Frac Bretagne
Pierrick Massiot, President of Brittany Regional Council
As part of its cultural policy outlined in May 2011, Brittany Regional Council set itself the
objectives of creating a positive environment for the promotion of art within the region;
of developing the resources and services available to artists and people with projects;
and supporting artistic and cultural activities, the means for their dissemination, cultural
diversity, and intangible cultural heritage.
Under this policy, the Council supports organisations that produce and disseminate art,
encourage artists in their projects and bring art to the people of the region, typically by
hosting artists in residence and organising cultural activities.
I am therefore proud that the Region is supporting the Ateliers de Rennes - biennale d’art
contemporain in its efforts to form a bridge between artistic activities and the world of
business.
On 6 July 2012, the FRAC Bretagne collection (Brittany Regional Fund for Contemporary
Art) moved to a brand new building close to Aurelie Nemours's Alignement du XXIe siècle (21st
Century Alignment). The building was designed by Odile Decq and commissioned and financed
by the Region. It stands in the Beauregard neighbourhood of Rennes. I am also proud that
Les Ateliers de Rennes — biennale d’art contemporain have chosen this space for their third
edition.
