two GT's: Raphaël Pirenne and Moritz Küng

Yesterday, Saturday October 27 at 16:00 h Raphaël Pirenne guided a group of visitors through the Locus Solus Domesticus exhibition. He prepared a very interesting parcours, in 7 "actes / sections" with titles such as "l'espace", "technicité 1 et 2", "vision", "matérialité", "le point", "erotisme", he started on the ground floor, afterwards the group climbed the stairs to go to the top floor and after that had to descend to the basement. The guide showed the works not in a random order, that is why the group had to ascend and descend four times the stairs. Raphaël made combinations in the 7 sections, "Beau comme la rencontre fortuite d'un parapluie et d'une machine à coudre sur une table de dissection": the notion of space and place in the works of Suchan Kinoshita, Rémy Zaugg and Christoph Fink. Eroticism in the work of Michel Gouéry, Mitja Tusek and Jürgen von Dückerhoff. Or the polyhedrons from Aglaia Konrad, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Xavier De Clippeleir. And the abundance of dots or points in the exhibition. Thanks a lot Raphaël for the very interesting tour you did in the Locus Solus Domesticus exhibition.

Guided tour by Raphaël Pirenne, talking about a work of Joëlle Tuerlinckx

At 18:00 h Moritz Küng served as a guide, and by improvisation he spoke about six works in the Locus Solus Domesticus exhibition. Moritz started with a short story from the past, when he lived in Brussels and run an art space in his apartment: APP BXL. The intense relation with artists, their works and the conversations with the visitors of the exhibitions makes clear that art has a function as mediator. It is "the age of less", with the conversations the artwork works in the mind and memory, the work exists in a dematerialized version.
As a poet Moritz talked about the marbles of Jan Swartenbroekx: the marbles are so very well made, painted with obsession and devotion to reach a result beyond how marble looks. And than when it is finished and exhibited, the three marbles are standing here and are waiting, autonomous representing marble.
About the work "constitution d'un tableau" of Rémy Zaugg, Moritz told about the close and meticulously reading of the painting "la maison du pendu" of Paul Cézanne so that the pictorial representation could change in a textual representation. A comprehensive study about image and text.
Thanks Moritz for the personal and interesting guided tour!

Guided Tour by François Piron

Last Saturday, October 13 2012, François Piron guided through LOCUS SOLUS DOMESTICUS. He is a specialist in the literature of Raymond Roussel and therefore he got really deep into the possible associations of works in the exhibition and the books of Roussel. François Piron was co-curator of the Locus Solus exhibition in Madrid and Porto and we were glad he wanted to guide in our more or less associative made exhibition. François Piron's Guided Tour made us aware of the rich interpretative discourse and the hybrid character of our LOCUS SOLUS DOMESTICUS exhibition in relation with the literature of Raymond Roussel. Merci Beaucoup François Piron.

guided tours by Battista and Burki

Saturday September 29, guided tour by Emiliano Battista

Emiliano Battista was our first invited guide through the exhibition LOCUS SOLUS DOMESTICUS. During the tour it is going to be a conversation about the works in the exhibition, so we talked about volumes and if it is possible that volumes are empty. A volume has to contain, vacuum doesn't contain and therefore is empty. Emiliano compared the disks of Christoph Fink with the shield of Achilles, that is a beautiful and rich confrontation. Thanks Emiliano for the improvised contribution to the exhibition LOCUS SOLUS DOMESTICUS.

Saturday September 29, guided tour by Marie José Burki

At 17:00 h. Marie José Burki guided a second group of visitors through the exhibition. She talked about Jan Swartenbroekx painted marbles as facsimiles of marble. In Bernard Voita's photo of a grid Marie José pointed at the glass of red wine, it could only be there on that place to function in the composition. She was amazed and amused that a work of Rémy Zaugg was in the same exhibition with a work of Bruno Gironcoli. A professional exhibition maker never should (or could) bring these works together. The conversation continued about how the exhibition LOCUS SOLUS DOMESTICUS was made, and that four artists as curator can bring together works in an universe with a strong logical connection. Thanks a lot Marie José for your contribution, and the evaluation on the expectations about the guides. A Guided Tour is in fact a conversation with the visitors and the curators about the works, the relations and the differences.
Next Guided Tour on Saturday October 13. The guides will soon be announced on this blog.

A.VE.NU.DE.JET.TE - INSTITUT DE CARTON vzw is an initiative launched by a few artists aiming at organising a special show in a privately owned house in Brussels, approximately twice a year.
In 2011 we started with a series of 52 drawings after Shakespeare’s Macbeth, made by Paul van der Eerden. 2012 kicked off with Les secrets de la mémoire, a series of 124 blackouts by Willem Oorebeek. Followed by Locus Solus Domesticus, a group show inspired by Raymond Roussel's novel Locus Solus that could only be visited with Cantarel-like guides.

In the first half of 2013, we showed photo works by Sarah Deraedt, Maartje Fliervoet and Katja Mater. And in the second half, the Dutch artist Jan Andriesse was our guest of honour in a show called Maison de Tolérance.

In 2014, we continued with FORCEFIELD, a drawing show built on the confrontation of two extremes: an abstract drawing by the Swiss healer and artist EMMA KUNZ (1892-1963) and an awfully realistic drawing by the Indian artist FRANCIS NEWTON SOUZA (1924- 2002).

In the spring of 2015, Suchan Kinoshita set up her Operation Theatre, an experience the visitor could only live when the theatre was being operated. In the autumn of the same year, we organized a marathon screening of the Operating Theatre footage.

In the first half of 2016 we mounted the show MIND FABRIC, a conceptual approach to textiles, fabric, patterns and systems in art. The remainder of 2016 and the first months of 2017 Institut de Carton fell into a kind of hibernation, due to other time-consuming activities of the founders.

In September 2017, Institut de Carton will be awoken by La Vie Palimpseste La Vie, a retrospective of works by Henri Jacobs, comprising paintings, drawings, tapestries, textile works and porcelain.

Beginning 2018, we will show works by Jochen Lempert, a German photographer who studied biology before turning to photography in the early 1990s. In his analog black and white pictures animals and nature play an important role. In the second half of next year we intend to stage works by artists from different origines, living in Brussels: Un cercle bruxellois.
