About the location

FRAC Grand Large - Hauts-de-France

503 avenue des bancs de Flandres, 59140 Dunkerque, France

Nord

Hauts-de-France

The FRAC Grand Large collection brings together more than 1,500 works of art and design, presented at the FRAC, in partner places, schools or public spaces. Built around an initial core (arte povera, minimal art, conceptual art, new realism, individual mythologies, pop art, Fluxus), it has been enriched over the past thirty years by exploring the links between art, design and reality. Today, acquisitions prioritize emerging creation along several axes: object and new forms of design, social criticism, migrations of knowledge and imaginations. Installed for three years in the port area of Dunkerque, the FRAC occupies a building by Lacaton & Vassal, doubling the old naval prefabrication hall and crossed by a street linking beach and city center. Close to the inhabitants and open to the international, the FRAC echoes port activity, captures the beat of the world and becomes a catalyst for formal, tangible and speculative resonances.
