Delphine Coindet

le Credac Centre d'art contemporain, Ivry-sur-Seine

For some twenty years now, the sculptures of Delphine Coindet have never failed to surprise us thanks to the various exhibition designs she has devised for the venues featuring her work, treating them like open mises en scène, as well as to her collages and assemblages, which employ widely varying materials and techniques. The inventiveness of her vocabulary, in constant dialog with architecture and design, is now developing around a broad palette of experiments that touches on the art exhibition of course, as well as theater design, performance, public art commissions, and the creation of lines of radical furniture.

Crédac is proud to continue its long-term collaboration with Delphine Coindet, which goes back over ten years, by proposing an unusual working process with CIRVA (the International Center for Research in Glass and the Plastic Arts, Marseille). In 2014, driven by a common desire, the two institutions invited the artist to experiment with glass, a material that was entirely new to her practice, in the company of artisanal glassblowers. The artist came up with forms that draw on the virtuosity of the latter’s technical expertise as well as simple randomness and accident, leaving room to develop a number of iterations in terms of colors and textures. Analogies take shape from one factory to the other, from the work studio to the art center, where Coindet’s pieces, the very stuff of transparency, visually echo the bay-window architecture of the industrial building that is home to Crédac.

With Modes & Usages de l’art, Delphine Coindet offers visitors an incursion into three succeeding environments, quietly shifting from public to private space, from an architectural format to a household one. Playing with the unresolved ambivalence that exists between art objects and useful or utilitarian ones, Coindet questions the conditions of their production and reception, their values and uses, in carefully staged displays that are borrowed from our everyday world.

Delphine Coindet is represented by galleries Laurent Godin, Paris and Anne Mosseri-Marlio, Bâle.

The exhibition is supported by galleries Laurent Godin, Paris and Anne Mosseri-Marlio, Bâle.

Delphine Coindet benefited from a production residency at CIRVA, the International Center for Research in Glass and the Plastic Arts, Marseille.
