The box
Frac-Artothèque Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Limoges
The Frac-Artothèque Nouvelle-Aquitaine in Limoges is housed in a former printing works and department store, a 19th-century industrial building in the heart of Limoges. The restructuring enhances the historic building while creating a space for contemporary works. An “immersive box” houses digital works and structures the volume around which are located the exhibition spaces, an artotheque and a café-lecture. The exhibition space is extended into the urban space by a new steel structure, enabling works to be hung in the public space.
