Crash Box, a Euro-Mediterranean Atelier by Anne-Valerie Gasc
For the fourth consecutive year, Galeries Lafayette is presenting Windows on Art from 9 July to 4 August 2012. Previously known as Paris & Creation, the 2012 event has been extended to four cities: Marseille, Nantes, Paris and Strasbourg. For one month, Galeries Lafayette opens (its) windows on art, using works borrowed from the summer programme of exhibitions to give passersby a sweeping view of the city's. On this occasion, each institution designs a never-before-seen window display with artists. In Marseille, Marseille-Provence 2013 will present Crash Box, a Euro-Mediterranean Atelier by Anne-Valerie Gasc. Crash Box was launched in 2010 with support from the company GINGER CEBTP Demolition. As part of this project, Gasc records images from demolitions by explosion. By placing a camera inside a Crash Box, she takes never-before-seen shots.
