"Résidence à l’aise(At Ease Residency)"

+

After the experience of [[Résidence Timide]], I decided to look for a new living and working space that could better support the project and reduce its previous limitations. In July 2017, I moved into the studio [[No Supplies]], located in Anderlecht, Brussels. This change of environment allowed me to shift the theme and launch a second residency: [[Résidence à l’aise]].

+

[[No Supplies]] was a large shared studio for fifteen people: eleven artists working on the ground floor and four people living upstairs. The space included a wood workshop with machines, an exhibition space, and a shared kitchen. I took one of the four rooms upstairs, which was approximately 60 square meters. For [[Résidence à l’aise]], the invited artists had a much larger workspace than in the first residency, as well as the possibility of collaborating with other artists at [[No Supplies]].

+

I decided to create a yurt because I needed a separate, private space inside my large room. This allowed me to invite artists from a wider circle, beyond my immediate surroundings. I was interested in how the yurt functioned: it could be folded away when there were no residents, and it was mobile enough to be used for external presentations.

+

The yurt was only set up when residents were present. This gesture helped them feel more “at ease” and gave them a space where they could spend time alone when needed. They could use the space however they wished — as a living space, an experimental lab, or something else.

+

A yurt inside a room — a room within a room.

+

This yurt, named [[HURTE]], eventually became both a living and working space for the artists. My role was to support them and document their stay.

+

[[Résidence “à l’aise]] welcomed three residents in total during 2019. Afterward, [[ HURTE]] remained in Brussels and was made available for future use — depending on requests — either as a residency space or as an exhibition space.
