Exposition "Faire feu"
Exposition "Faire feu"
The exhibition ‘Faire feu’ (Fire Away) is the result of a cross-disciplinary module taught at La Cambre, bringing together fourteen students from the ceramics, urban space, interior design, engraving and printmaking, text and literary creation, painting, drawing, scenography, and visual and graphic communication workshops. Entitled ‘Les Troisième geste’ (The Third Gesture), this transdisciplinary educational module was initiated and coordinated by Darren Roshier and Mélanie Peduzzi. Milady Renoir, Crecha Gomes Da Silva, Sabine Sil, Antoine Fallon and Tiphanie Blanc were the educational contributors.
Wood fire, fireplace, bonfire, cooking fire. Torch and brazier, lighthouse and hearth. The flame is versatile and serves the intentions of those who carry it.
What is worth saving when everything is burning? Why create when everything is falling apart?
Reflecting on the place of art in a society that is primarily focused on consumption raises the question of the relevance of artists in today's political world. Is our attraction to cultural objects not saturated by an economic model driven by endless hunger? Undoubtedly. But we are free to try to see in it the possibility of an exchange that is not purely commercial.
Whether individual or collective, artistic practices seek to shape the world, either by transforming it to make it more welcoming, or by carving out a space in it that is habitable for all. From flat-sharing to games, from shared meals to exchanged stories, we would like to emphasise the profoundly transient nature of art. Far from exhibitions that conceive of art as a finished product, we would like to take it as a pretext, as it has always been, for an opportunity to exchange in a different way. Like bees that, when faced with a fire, load themselves with honey to prepare for their exodus, let us rethink what needs to be saved.
We invite you to spend an evening in the heart of a home, in the intimacy that binds a shared space, to share readings and games, soups and honey.
