Amber Roucourt is an artist based in Brussels, in her atelier at Cas-co Leuven, she explores everyday objects that she often recreate, enlarge, and twist using ceramic.<\/p>\n

For her installation at Art Au Centre, she departs from a very common item: the key ring (le porte-cl\u00e9s<\/em>). Yet, this seemingly banal object attracted Amber\u2019s attention, in the ways in which it is personalized and made recognizable by their owner: the key ring becomes a token of singularity, a personal carrier of memories in constant motion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her installation at Art Au Centre brings together a new ensemble of works, collected as key rings of absurd and playful dimensions. Their oversized dimensions make them unhandy to carry\u2014or perhaps they are key chains to the city.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to the artist’s recontextualisation, the pieces gain both physical and emotional presence when displayed in a vitrine. This is at the core of Amber\u2019s practice: to find the tension between memories, collecting and remembering what constitutes our identities. How do everyday objects carry and translate emotions, feelings of belonging and personal narratives?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5086,"template":"","exposition":[53],"class_list":["post-5105","vitrine","type-vitrine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exposition-en18"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine\/5105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vitrine"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exposition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exposition?post=5105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
