exhibition · 2026-04-23

From September 8 to October 29, 2006, Véronique Joumard presents a solo exhibition at Le Crédac in Ivry-sur-Seine, focusing on the center's architectural features. The highlight of the show, 'Solarium,' consists of a 5 x 5 meter frame adorned with 200 bulbs that illuminate the basement, emphasizing the artificial nature of light. Another notable work, 'Sans titre' (1985), includes two metal beams and a bulb, prompting reflections on the function of barriers. Additional pieces like 'Miroirs' (2003) and 'Surface réfléchissante' (2003) further enrich the experience. The exhibition invites visitors on a mythological exploration, with each artwork gaining significance through movement, blending minimalist design with a poignant, intense quality.
