2angles

'2angles', an association founded in 1999, promotes visual arts and contemporary dance in the region. In 2010, 2angles joined the network of cultural centres supported by the Normandy region. One of its main missions is to receive artists and dance companies through its residencies programme. These residencies result in exhibitions of the work of visual artists and public presentations of the work-in-progress where dance companies are concerned. The activities of ‘2angles’ mostly take place in the town centre of Flers. Located in what was once a dye factory, the association disposes of 400m2 in which to house its three exhibition spaces, workshops, offices and a library. In addition, ‘2angles’ has access to a stage and a rehearsal studio which are made available by the town of Flers. '2angles' is the place to be if you are interested in discovering, creating, experimenting, researching and sharing. It creates bridges between visual arts and dance, the artists, the public, and local enterprise. The association named 'Le RAVE (Reseau des Arts Vivants Electriques -a contemporary music network)’ is located in the same building. The proximity between the two associations creates regular collaborations. Here, artists, sculptors, choreographers, painters, dancers, musicians and managers frequently meet. The team of '2angles' also develops projects with local partners such as schools, hospitals, prisons, associations or other cultural centres.
