Public Talk
SAT.MAY.17
14:00-15:00
As part of the public program accompanying Extractive Imagination(s): Harnessing Energy, The Balcony will host a talk by writer and curator Antoinette Jattiot, who will discuss the works on show focusing on the practice of filmmaker Elsa Brès, with whom she's previously collaborated.
Antoinette Jattiot (she/her, lives and works in Brussels) is trained as an art historian (École du Louvre, Paris – Karl Ruprecht University, Heidelberg). At the intersection of writing, exhibition-making, and performative encounters, her practice explores the porous boundaries between visual arts and research, images and language. She is currently a curator at La Loge art center in Brussels. Since 2023, she has been part of the multidisciplinary collective—alongside Denicolai & Provoost, Nord, and Spec uloos—at the initiative of Petticoat Government for the Belgian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024). In the past, she has worked as an editor, researcher and assistant curator, in the field of visual arts (WIELS Brussels, M Leuven, among others). Her activities also extend into pedagogy: she teaches at ESA Le SeptanteCinq (BE) and regularly participates in art school juries, workshops, and guest lectures. She frequently contributes to art magazines and exhibition catalogues. She is a member of AICA and c-e-a.
The visit of Antoinette Jattiot is made possible by the International Visitors Programme of the Nieuwe Instituut with support from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
