At the Creux de l’Enfer factory, Ismaïl Bahri transforms the space into a series of sensitive installations mirroring each other between the ground floor and the first floor. At the May factory, Elvire Bonduelle will exhibit the results of a project carried out during an artist-in-residence programme with a local company and a secondary school in Thiers, whilst Suzanne Boulet showcases her work as part of the Clermont-Ferrand Textile Biennale.

At the Creux de l’Enfer factory, artist Ismaïl Bahri has put on display videos, drawings and sculptures, all of which resonate with the venue whilst paying meticulous attention to the micro-phenomena of reality. With an economy of means and great precision in the visual devices employed, Ismaïl Bahri poetically highlights and amplifies sensory experiences and elementary gestures, which are thereby imbued with greater intensity. Using sand as the central theme of his exhibition, Ismaïl Bahri transports visitors from chaos to clarity, from flow to form, from projected film to materialised film. Sand becomes an element that is constantly replayed, repositioned and transformed through different approaches, scales and media.

In her exhibition HELL YES!, Elvire Bonduelle presents objects of varying degrees of functionality, created following a residency at the Roddier-Roddier cutlery company and at the Germaine Tillion vocational college in Thiers – such as coat hooks, wall lights, candlesticks and trays – situated at the intersection of contemporary art and design, whilst Suzanne Boulet, as part of the Textile Biennale (Clermont-Ferrand), invites us to perceive, through the textile material, emotional states that are experienced without being articulated, to the sound of the Creux de l’Enfer river, which continuously lulls the exhibition space.

Open Wednesday to Sunday, from 2 pm to 6 pm.
