Lara Almarcegui — Ivry souterrain
Ends in 29 days: April 19 → June 23
Ivry-sur-Seine is currently undergoing enormous change and a profound redefining of its territory, where major development projects are about to break ground.

The show at Crédac features a selection of her projects.

Stefan Shankland — Le Monde change l’art...
In 9 days: Tuesday, June 4 7 PM → 8:30 PM
Que peut apporter l’art à un territoire en mutation ? Que change l’expérience d’une transformation urbaine dans notre façon de concevoir l’art dans la ville ? C’est autour de ces questions que Stefan Shankland construit le projet TRANS305. La ville en chantier est considérée comme une ressource pour l’art, l’architecture expérimentale et les expériences pédagogiques.

Simon Boudvin — Façade 03 (Mouscron)
Past: Thursday, May 16 7 PM → 8:30 PM
From each built space comes a second hollow space from which the materials are extracted. This truism allows us to imagine the actual volume of the hidden sisters of architecture: quarries, mines… a cliché reminding us that every action produces its direct double print. Unless we consider the city as an open air quarry.

Koenraad Dedobbeleer — Workmanship of Certainty
Past: January 18 → March 31
*_Dysfunctional Sculptures_*
The sculptures of the Belgian artist Koenraad Dedobbeleer (born 1975) work like simulacra of functional present-day objects. Because they are placed in an exhibition context and hence freed from their useful function, they exist as ambiguous supports that are made available for interpretation.

Boris Achour — Séances
Past: April 13 → June 3, 2012
Séances is a new addition to the Conatus series that Achour began back in 2006. Plunged in partial darkness, a range of elements form a setting/ landscape that visitors are meant to wander around for 45 minutes. Films, sculptures, sounds… yet not a single actor or live event: the combination of formal elements makes this art piece more akin to a show or spectacle.

Jessica Warboys — Land & Sea
Past: April 8 → June 12, 2011
Warboys often fashions her new worlds from personal or collective memories or even significant events. Her work involves a range of practices, including film, sculpture, painting and even performance. And although her pieces display a performative aspect, Warboys doesn’t consider herself a performance artist.

Renée Levi — Cursif
Past: January 14 → March 27, 2011
Au Crédac, l’artiste expose ses dernières œuvres. Le spray fluo cède la place à la large brosse et aux couleurs comme le bleu ou encore plus simplement le blanc. L’instabilité et la volatilité du spray sont échangées contre l’épaisseur de la peinture. Les interventions murales cèdent du terrain au retour de la toile sur châssis.
