Research residency in four CEA research institutes, from November 2009 through October 2010
Valérie Legembre's residency at CEA-Grenoble offers a genuine testimony to the world of research and technologies as well as to today's scientific investigations.
Four CEA institutes accept to open their doors, their research space and their worlds:
INAC, LETI/DTBS, LITEN/INES in Chambéry and ARC NUCLEART. They do this in order to host Valérie Legembre, graphic artist's residency alongside her approach via these institutes' professional spaces.

Nayla Farouki and Christian Ruby, philosophers, followed the residency's progress. Read their observations in the Cahiers de l'Atelier n°3 Cahier de l'Atelier n°3 tracing the residency and published at the end of 2010.
Valérie Legembre - Plastic artist
"It would be a big mistake to pigeonhole Valérie Legembre. Indeed, depending on the pieces you come across, you will constantly be led to reconsider her status. The only one that seems to me to be appropriate in all cases would be that of "visual artist". As a gallery manager dedicated to photography, I have come across many photographers and artists using photography over the past thirty years. I can say that Valérie Legembre is one of the people who has surprised me the most. The reason for this is actually logical, since Valérie positively and skilfully perverts everything she touches..."

Co-founder and artistic director of the Vrais Rêves gallery in Lyon
