History

1983
Création du Frac Île-de-France

2002
Opening of Le Plateau, an exhibition space run by the Frac Île-de-France, the result of an initiative by a residents’ association – ‘Vivre aux Buttes-Chaumont’ – chaired by artist Eric Corne, aimed at reorienting a property development programme designed for the site of the former Société Française de Production and developing a programme open to contemporary art. This project was made possible thanks to the support of the Île-de-France Regional Council.

2014
The Château de Rentilly was renovated by the Marne et Gondoire urban community and transformed by Xavier Veilhan, architects Bona-Lemercier and scenographer Alexis Bertrand. As the second venue of the Frac Île-de-France from 2014 to 2022, its programme focused on presenting its own collection as well as other guest collections, both public and private, French and foreign.

2021
Inauguration of the Réserves in Romainville, which includes 1,600 m² dedicated to the conservation, management, and exhibition of works of art, in order to optimise their distribution throughout the Île-de-France region. The building is part of the new contemporary art hub in eastern Paris – a former industrial wasteland rehabilitated by the Freaks architecture agency.

2022
Transfer of the collection to the Reserves and launch of the participatory project (2022-2023)‘Sors de ta réserve!’ based on works from the collection.
