Short Description

Le Wonder is a collective studio managed by and for artists. Since 2013, the eponymous collective has occupied large, disused complexes in the suburbs of Paris, shaping the spaces in its own image: collective and individual workshops, a shared pool of machinery, and a space for experimentation and the emergence of artistic thought.
Le Wonder aims to be an independent production and dissemination tool available to the young French and international art scene.
Diversity is at the heart of Le Wonder. Today, the collective hosts 70 permanent artists and offers four
research and creation residencies to three artists and one curator, both French (outside the Paris region) and inter-national.
On-site, practices and research intersect and are exchanged. Through these encounters, creations influence, evolve, and enrich one another, sometimes leading to unexpected collaborations. This collective and coope-rative experience sketches new forms of co-creation and sharing
