NIS (The Treignac Project)

The Treignac Projet activly engages in examining the links between architecture and the arts, and exploring how they reflect and influence the political and cultural worlds. The project is modeled on the University rather than the regional Arts Centre, where research and teaching, auto-administration, and academic independence, all come together through the efforts of a Corporation of Peers. The project revolves around a studio research program, university seminars, a schedule of shows in the gallery, and publications. The new international school (NIS), is a mobile arts research group, with volatile membership that forms the core paradigm for knowledge creation in this context. The development of the site in association with aesd.nl, is itself the topic of architectural and artistic activity and includes an engagement with its location and its effect on the local area.
