Only Six Can Play This Game

A Film by Eva Meyer and Eran Schaerf

2022, 43 minutes, English

It depends on who you are if an entrance is closed or open to you. If you enact your coincidence as an incidence you may outmanoeuvre this mechanism. This shows in the cast of a card game, in its ritualistic inclusion or exclusion of cards in order to complete a given number to a group or not. This shows also in the game with Kafkas „Fellowship“, which counts five people and does not know how to exclude a rejected sixt person which keeps coming back. Is he the first coincidence of each person’s biography, his being born anywhere? Is he talking with an accent that can foil an access since biblical times? Can assimilation through language, clothes, gestures help? These are the questions of a guest in a New York apartment house, whose doorman is not accepting his „how are you“ as a mere password. The coincidence of their encounter transforms the entrance into a rehearsal room for stories that migrate through persons, places, times, and remix their affiliations.

Levantine Line Library

In 1961 Fausta Cialente published the novel Ballata levantina with me in the lead. She did not really consider that becoming public might wake my desire to leave the novel altogether. For a start I found myself on shelves of libraries, then stored in dark archives.

If readers can borrow me with the novel, I thought, I should be able to borrow myself and walk out. I had to find Isabel. She is the one who translated me into English, making me one of The Levantines, as she titled the novel’s translation. I was curious to find out what it takes to lead a translated life.

Soon I learned that life outside the archive was governed by stricter linearity than in the memory Fausta configured me with. She neither equipped me with a pure bloodline, nor with a language lineage or a passport with a line for nationality, which seem so indispensable both in and out of the archive. To flee these lines, I began borrowing segments of them, thus breaking their alleged continuity, and reassembling my discontinuous self.

The business of borrowing got me roped in the free-for-alls of cultural appropriation, pushing me again and again into some dark place of origin I never possessed. As if the revolt of appropriation art never happened. The thing is, you can borrow lines but unlike books you can’t return them. And I need to borrow lines endlessly, since reassembling myself never really ends. Not even by death, an invention that wasn’t tailored for us printed characters. We might die at the end of a novel, but we live again once you turn its pages back to the beginning.

If only one could collect lines, I would set up a library, but most lines rarely show, especially lines of flight tend to disappear the moment they are drawn.

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.
