The work of Sixtine Jacquart, winner of the Young Ceramist Award in 2018 (Keramis, La Louvière), takes 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 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 are activated by the convocation of “memory gestures”, at Wolubilis and at ISELP, and on the other hand, an installation presented at TAMAT, from 18 December 2021 to 13 February 2022.

A project initiated by the Franco-Belgian network 50°Nord, in the framework of Watch this Space 11.
