Comme d'habitude film-screening by Eran Schaerf

Comme d'habitude, une pièce à engager (1997)
A film by Eva Meyer and Eran Schaerf
To see on Saturday 23 April 15:00h in Institut de Carton

Comme d’habitude. Une pièce à engager (1997)
‘As Habitual’ is a set piece, a documentary fiction, about how to adapt oneself to unknown regions without surrendering to them. This movie is situated in Mombasa and Zanzibar, where you can find a material called kanga that hovers between language and architecture, and in fact turns into a habit. Kanga is a piece of cloth printed with a pattern and a saying, ready to wear or to be displayed, for carrying a baby, protection against the sun or against being seen. Doing this implies however that one allows others to read what you want to say. A habit now has become something that you can put on and take back off again. It has incorporated a critical fiction, involving the reader as well. Giving in to its material, the movie is not following a script. Instead it’s edited according to a pattern relying on habits and habituality, of bodies and houses. The pattern, that language that makes both walls and veils to billboards, turns into an architecture of layers that cover the international style and re-orient it. It turns veiling into a form of perception. While veils and walls are supposed to protect religion and possessions, the sayings involve these veils and walls in a public conversation in which everyone participates.

27 min. 21 sec., French, 1997
Dir., text and camera: Eva Meyer and Eran Schaerf
Voice: Eva Meyer

MIND FABRIC Talk by Joke Robaard

TALK by Joke Robaard in
A.VE.NU.DE.JET.TE - Institut de Carton vzw

SOCIAL = FABRIC

Why are these nouns in particular, “fabric” and “network”, so ubiquitous today? In countless fashion articles, political speeches and urban development meetings, these two cosmopolitan concepts are in perpetual flight through different domains, refusing to settle in any one. "Fabric" has also frequently been qualified by the adverb "social". Addressing the urgency of this so-called social fabric, politicians, urban developers and sociologists expressed their concern for coherence, to those alliances apparently forsaken in the 20th century.

Although the vocabulary of textiles may tap into a collective memory of connected matter, ideally this knotted network offers ways of thinking that are more flatly pragmatic. How to convincingly and consistently grasp the material consequences of textile metaphors? In language we pretend to execute a material act; in reality we execute a technological instruction. Somewhere between fabricated language and real fabric there’s a tear, a hole; yet this “distressed” gap is actually desirable. The gap, in fact, is a perfect place for testing the consequences of literary and concrete matter. (J.Robaard, Serving Library Issue #6, 2014)

Joke Robaard is beeldend kunstenaar/onderzoeker en docent aan de Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (afdeling TXT). Op dit moment toont ze samen met Camiel van Winkel de installatie Assemblage in Het Nieuwe Instituut te Rotterdam. Binnen het kader van Edition VI, Event and Duration, georganiseerd door IfIcantdance, Amsterdam ontwikkelt zij het project Replacing Magical Images (nov.2016)

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.
