This collaborative project is the result of our pleasure to do, to communicate, and to look together. From the will to open our individual workshop practices to new perspectives. 

In choosing a location, we had to be attentive to all of its characteristics in order to be able to define the framework of our actions. An apprehension of the space ranging from its state (the traces and marks of past inhabitations) to the presence of utilitarian elements (radiators, fire alarm, pipes, etc...) or the architectural style specific to the KASK and its history. In this unknown terrain, we had to define a new language. Through gestures and interventions that we had never experienced before, a shift from the painting object to the space took place.

​

This space is divided into two rooms separated by a door and a wall. Each one has a window underlined by a radiator. In the first room, a raised floor is a painted checkerboard, it replaced the pattern of the existing tiles. It is made of opaque tiles and partially covered tiles, leaving stains and marks. Visible clues allow us to read a chronology of our interventions and the previous ones.

​

The framing of this neo-checkerboard by a skirting board and a black step evokes the qualities of the diorama. A scene within which the pictorial chronology seems to be disturbed: some gestures rehabilitate the space, others ironically reveal the previous functions of this place. 
A duality that we wished to preserve throughout our project.
