Production workshop
From producing all the new pieces for an exhibition to research and experimentation during residencies, the Fondation's workshop is constantly evolving into a laboratory of forms and ideas, serving artists.
The Fondation thus aims to help creators not only to produce but also to think about their way of creating according to their respective fields and practices, beyond existing norms and constraints.
Nestled in the basement of the building, our workshop is the matrix for original works, publications and scenographies that draw on traditional know-how and cutting-edge technologies. The machines and infrastructure are used for woodworking, metalworking, cabin's painting, 3D printing, engraving and laser cutting, as well as milling and tracing by numerical control.
