Sneak peek!!! {When the Fog Comes Down—Chris Meulemans—De Halle Geel—opening this Friday at 8pm} Book launch and vernissage “In many of Meulemans’ works, the image seems either to be emerging or dissolving. It is as if one is looking at something that has not yet assumed a fixed form, or whose contours are already disintegrating.”—Koen Leemans @chrismeulemansstudio @hopperandfuchs @thisis__earl @ccdewerft @leemans_koen @zwartopwit #contemporarypainting #hopperandfuchs #curatingartbooks #booklaunch #artbook

MIRAGE From the Latin mirari, meaning « to marvel » or « to admire. » This word evokes both an optical illusion —a fleeting image that appears real but dissolves as one approaches— and a sense of wonder at what reveals itself, elusive and ephemeral. COPIES ARE STILL AVAILABLE ! LINK in bio or DM for ordering. This book unfolds like a landscape, offering an immersive journey through textures and colors. Blurring the line between artwork and object, it invites to a poetic exploration of my work and inspirations. The book also features an interview with art writer Nancy Casielles, as well as a link to the soundscape & piano improvisation from the opening performance—an in situ creation by Jérémy Bocquet & Alan Ozkan connects the exhibited works, the passage of time and the space of the chapel. @cornilmusic @alan_deloin Mirage, artist book Camille Truyffaut Quadricolor offset 128 pages 148 x 210 mm PUR binding Fedrigoni papers: Arena Rough Natural 100g & Sirio Pearl Oyster Shell 300g 100 copies of Standard Edition 50 copies of Limited Edition (w/ a tirage on Fine Art Paper) In collaboration with designer Elena Bollette Thanks to Nancy Casielles for her interview.

C’est aujourd’hui !!! On se voit à partir de 16:00 chez Tram{e} ???

Final day to visit {VIVID—Joke Raes—Zebrastraat} and meet the artist, a must-see exhibition of ceramics, porcelain creations and installations, mixing textiles and drawings, as a proof of concept to understand what the true meaning of the word VIVID means for an artist as Joke Raes ! And in parallel I made a modest endeavor to put this myriad of creativity and making into an artist’s book in collaboration with Barbara De Coninck (text) and Elena Bollette (typography), sharing the concept with the artist. @joke__raes @zebrastraat @hopperandfuchs @barbaradeconinck2 @thisis__earl #jokeraes #vivid #hopperandfuchs #zebrastraat #curatingartbooks

Sa 15.11 - 16h - PARENT’INN
“Au coeur de Forest,où naissent les liens”
————————
Depuis plus d’une année maintenant et sous l’impulsion de jeunes parents, Tram{e} a mis en place le projet Parent’Inn.

Ce projet vise à soutenir les jeunes parents forestois et à lutter contre l’isolement lié au congés de grossesse et de maternité, en construisant des réseaux informels de solidarité.

Cette Cartographie sensible et subjective regroupe 15 lieux ressources pour jeunes parents à Forest. Elle est traversée de 15 récits librement inspirés par les rencontres de Céline De Bo. 

A découvrir donc le 15 novembre, apd 16h avec les protagonistes du projet: Céline De Bo (écriture), Camille Gouet (illustration) et Elena Bollette (façonnage de l’objet).

Au plaisir de vous y rencontrer !

Notez qu’il sera question de parentalité durant 3 jours:

- Jeudi 13/11 - 19h30: Présentation de “Feux de Forêts” un recueil de récits intimes, dont un de l’autrice forestoise Chiara Aquino Benitez, autour de la parentalité, non-parentalité, communautés et (r)evolution poétique.

- Vendredi 14/11 - apd 18h: Vernissage de la nouvelle expo avec les illustrations de la Cartographie, ainsi que le travail sur le mythe familial de Marie-Lou Lozia et les personnages hybrides de Valène De Valck

M I R A G E du latin mirari, qui signifie « s’émerveiller » ou « admirer ». Ce mot évoque à la fois une illusion d’optique – une image fugace qui semble réelle, mais s’évanouit à mesure qu’on l’approche – et l’émerveillement devant ce qui se dévoile sous nos yeux, insaisissable et éphémère. EN/ from the Latin mirari, meaning « to marvel » or « to admire. » This word evokes both an optical illusion—a fleeting image that appears real but dissolves as one approaches—and a sense of wonder at what reveals itself, elusive and ephemeral.
