Description
L’Avant Rue is a cultural centre open to residencies for contemporary research. This old steam factory built by the Eiffel Workshop is directed by a street art troupe : friches théâtre urbain. L’Avant Rue receives artists working on multidisciplinary and unconventionnal forms. Our main centre of interest is site specific projects. For each residency, we imagine in concertation with the artist, a meeting with an identified public sector in order to encourage completion of the project and the permeability of the artistic process .
