Le Berlin Brussels Art Project<\/a> a pris l’heureuse initiative d’exposer, \u00e0 la Galerie Didier Devillez, les \u00ab\u00a0Bo\u00eetes\u00a0\u00bb de l’artiste et \u00e9crivain Colette Bitker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avions d\u00e9j\u00e0 eu l’occasion d’enregistrer un long entretien avec elle<\/a>, dans son atelier bruxellois et d’\u00e9voquer son travail de peintre et d’\u00e9crivain<\/a>, en particulier deux livres parus aux Editions Michel de Maule: Une chemise blanche dans le Vercors <\/em>et Lettre \u00e0 l’autre.<\/em> Le remarquable film documentaire r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Yvon Lammens,<\/a> Au-del\u00e0 du tableau<\/em>, avait piqu\u00e9 notre curiosit\u00e9 et \u00e9veill\u00e9 l’envie de rendre visite \u00e0 l’artiste en son atelier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le communiqu\u00e9 publi\u00e9 par le BBAP \u00e9voque ainsi le travail qui a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 l’exposition \u00ab\u00a0Mes bo\u00eetes\u00a0\u00bb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repli\u00e9e dans sa maison bruxelloise durant la longue phase de pand\u00e9mie, Colette Bitker travaille dans son atelier. Y naissent des dessins en petit format sur papier, mais aussi des textes qui r\u00e9sument, comme un journal intime, son exp\u00e9rience de cette phase d’isolement. Pour sauvegarder les traces de cette solitude, elle d\u00e9cide de d\u00e9poser, feuille par feuille, dessins et textes dans des bo\u00eetes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous esp\u00e9rons avoir prochainement l’occasion d\u2019interviewer \u00e0 nouveau l’artiste \u00e0 propos de cette s\u00e9rie si originale et symbolique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While staying inside her Brussels home during the long phase of the Covid pandemic, Colette Bitker works in her atelier, making small format drawings on paper, but also writing texts which, much like a diary, are meant to sum up her experience of isolation. In order to keep the traces of that period of loneliness, she decides to put every single drawing and text in boxes. For Bitker, putting things in boxes in order to protect the thoughts that came from her heart, is like giving herself access to a refuge or shelter. In the meantime, the boxes are piling up and the work goes on, as in a never-ending quest for shelter from this world.
Colette Bitker was born in Paris. She lives and paint in Brussels. Her work has been shown in many exhibitions and can be found in private and public collections. She was the subject of three major monographs and has co-authored several books with a.o. Ludovic Janvier (2004) and Philippe Roberts-Jones (2012). In 2014, Michel de Maule published Bitker\u2019s Une chemise blanche dans le Vercors<\/em> and, in 2016, Lettre \u00e0 l\u2019autre<\/em>. In April 2022, Au-del\u00e0 du tableau<\/em>, a film by Yvon Lammens about Colette Bitker, was shown at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, in Brussels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
