from july 17 to october 12, 2014
Way more than just playing this perpetual question of the scale and its
stylistic effects, David Renaud preferred to embrace completely
chez-robert’s space. More than to show a small in a big (or the
opposite), he sided with an infinite neverending situation. We may
recall the visions of Dr David Bowman during his odyssey orchestrated by
Kubrick. As well as the parallel space-times explained in Brian
Greene’s beautiful video. David Renaud didn’t only work the dimension of
the scale, rather he added that one of the time in this work. And if we
find ourselves surprised with his proposal, it is that we got lost in
all the representations he offered us until now. It means to forget that
for every map, there is also a temporality, to forget that Credac was
before a cinema, or that Stork was a place of vibrations. The artist
represents us spaces in their times through, especially, his own
vision.... We could have seen several suns in a closed spherical space
where, loosing us in their hearts detained, we lived the experience of
this temporality, or at least the artist’s vision (of his own) of a
spatial temporality. Sliding from camouflage painting to selfsewn
costumes of skins evoking another ending at our current human shape, he
moves through the crossings of our own reality. Even going farther by
getting us lost between a microscopic vision of cells developing and
macroscopic of stars becoming supernovae. And about what would have been
before the egg, I could not care less...
