Chair

The work of Sixtine Jacquart, winner of the Prix Jeune Céramiste in 2018 (Keramis, La Louvière), develops in the form of installations, performances and porcelain objects.

The Chair series includes works produced during residencies at TAMAT (Tournai) and Wolubilis (Brussels). Taking the form of objects, performances and videos, they combine structures made of elastic, wood and porcelain that create a dialogue between the animal and the human. The aim is to confront the strength of the horse with the fragility of the porcelain and to recontextualise a rhythm and gestures from before industrialisation, in an era that has excluded them.

The function of these tools is mysterious, if not absurd. They evoke an imaginary world linked to the animal as a farm worker, but also to horse riding, the circus, etc.
Chair is divided into three parts. On the one hand, two performances during which these objects will be activated by the convocation of “memory gestures”, at Wolubilis (30.09) and at ISELP, and on the other hand, an installation presented at TAMAT (from December to February).

In collaboration with TAMAT (Tournai) & Wolubilis (Brussels)
