Archives from Atelier ouvert (excerpts)
Two creators got in dialogue with each other. Two paths, two artistic approaches — one conversation. A bare thread is revealed between life, practice and work of both. Together at a pivotal moment in their respective journey, Jennifer Alleyn and Raphaëlle de Groot propose to suspend time to dive into a biographical research and identify material to share. Through this double portrait exercise, they explore different observation processes. But above all, they question the free spirit that drives them and what freedom is involved in creation.
Opening the doors of this temporary workshop, they bring us to a common experience.
What would you share about yourselves?
An object? A letter ? A tool ? A question?
Atelier ouvert took place with 40 participants from January 29 to February 6, 2021. Here are assembled project excerpts chosen by the participants.
