Specific area, diverse audience, innovative approach

Territory establishing several universities and research centers, Essonne concentrates nearly 15% of French research.

Since its inception, CC91 has wanted to advance its vision of culture through affordable, high-quality art projects. Naturally, “La Science de l’Art” arose, a contemporary art biennale that shares the spotlight with science. With each edition, new partners join the project allowing the festival to expand to the department and also to Ile-de-France.

In order to reach a wide audience and provide them with reading keys for a better understanding of the project, each work will be accompanied by mediation procedures: conferences, discussions, literary breakfasts and lunches, activities around the youth audience, meetings, workshops… These actions allow the Biennale to remain accessible to all while maintaining the quality of art contemporary.
