Lucy and Jorge Orta founded Studio Orta in 1992. They work between London, Paris and Les Moulins, an artistic research center created by the artists to enhance industrial heritage through contemporary art. Les Moulins is located in the Grand Morin valley in Seine-et-Marne, over an 8 km stretch of land, and includes four historic mills: the former mills of the Papeteries de Paris, Le Moulin de Boissy and Moulin Sainte-Marie; La Laiterie and Moulin de la Vacherie. Artists’ studios and residences are currently being refurbished, as is a sculpture park designed to promote the production and dissemination of experimental in-situ works.
