The Art Center
On the rehabilitated site of the former Crest fire station, the Art Center is a municipal facility of 200 m² dedicated to temporary exhibitions.
The center hosts exhibitions that invite to discover the diversity of artistic expressions, between modern times, art and crafts and contemporary art.
As part of its exhibitions at the Art Center, the City of Crest offers a program of events and educational animations to share art and techniques with all audiences.
EXHIBITION IN PROGRESS
Jacques Clerc
Sculpture, Engraving, Artists’ books
July 13 – October 16, 2022
Jacques Clerc was born in 1931 in Lons-le-Saunier. After a stint in Paris, he moved to Crest in 1956 where he still resides today.
Professor at the Beaux-arts de Valence from 1965 to 1991, Jacques Clerc is a sculptor, engraver, publisher of artists’ books and typographer.
His plastic research is essentially expressed outside of figuration. His work is characterized by a work of the material (printed paper, metals, wood, plaster) where the gesture retains an artisanal dimension, in the noble and technical sense of the term. His work is also marked by numerous collaborations and friendships with authors or artists. Finally, an important place is given to writing in his creations.
The Centre d’art de Crest is the natural and ideal setting for discovering or rediscovering the richness of this artist.
A publication, produced by the City of Crest on the occasion of the exhibition, allows visitors to extend their immersion in the artist’s work.
