Les Bains::Connective
A socio-artistic breeding/breathing place
Les Bains::Connective is an 1200 m2 laboratory for creative activity. Home to long-term residencies in the fields of music, dance, visual arts and botany, it also welcomes short-term and one-off proposals by individuals or groups keen to participate and invest in the life of the Connective.
Activities, workshops, works-in-progress and performances are grounded in the principles of experimentation, exchange and development. The result is a supportive and fertile environment for cross-disciplinary research and innovation.
Our home, the former Forest public baths, is a project in itself, an architectural experiment of renovation and rehabilitation. It is a social and cultural meeting place, where visitors and members of the local community and wider public are encouraged to become involved, to "connect". This approach is based on the principles of inclusion and participation.

Les Bains::Connective was initiated by young artists out of a need for creative working space and out of a philosophical drive for the organic, the non-hierarchical and the relational.
Next to its function as a working area Les Bains::Connective is aswell a meeting place for artists, collaborators and public.
