Photos  Schuilkelder-atelier voor de kunstaar-krijger, 2009The feet: Shelter-studio for the artist-warrior, 2009 Fabre created a shelter-atelier comprising different thinking models he made in the 90s. The shelter-atelier (which is a cement cube) is composed of an entrance space, an official space, and the artist’s secret studio. In the first space, the corridor to the official space, Fabre presents 3 lambs growing from the ceiling. These lambs refer to the baptism, the spiritual cleansing of Christ. In the official space, Fabre installs 7 tin baths painted with blue BIC ink and two “brain-legs” coming down from the ceiling. The baths symbolize the ritual place of purification but also refer to Fabre’s insomnia; he uses his bathtub as a sarcophagus where he calms down to draw and work. The “brain-legs” on the other hand represent the memory of the feet, the feet as a brain. The secret space is a studio filled with ammunition and experimental organic material. This is the artist’s lab, a place to hide and work. |
