Studio Orta Les Moulins

Lieu-dit Le Moulin Sainte-Marie
rue des Papeteries, 77169 Boissy-le-Châtel, France

Les Moulins has been the country outpost of Studio Orta since 2000. It was founded by the artists Lucy + Jorge Orta in the historical birth place of the first paper mills in 1578 and the growth of the French paper industry les papeteries du Marais et de Sainte-Marie. Les Moulins comprises of four former industrial buildings located along an 8-Km of the Grand Morin river valley. The complex includes Moulin Sainte-Marie (paper mill), Moulin de Boissy (pulp mill), Moulin la Vacherie (grain and cider mill) and La Laiterie (dairy). Imagined as an extension of their artistic practice, Les Moulins is dedicated to the creation and presentation of new forms of contemporary art. Over years of careful restoration, the former factories set within landscaped grounds and a sculpture park, have become a veritable cultural laboratory including artist studios, workshops, residencies, galeries, exhibition and performance venues thanks to partnerships with professionals from across the contemporary art sector.

Studio Orta Les Moulins is open to the general public twice a year in September and June.
