En cours d’installation is a group exhibition initiated by valerie_traan gallery which investigates the boundaries of materiality/immateriality and its condition of appearance. The title of this exhibition refers to a marker of time which poses an unfinished process. It focuses on the instant, the suspended moment of an act that is still under construction and allows infinite possibilities.

En cours d’installation is not just a presentation of a group of objects, it is rather an act of creation where elements of light, colour and smell determine the atmosphere. These elements blend with formally recognizable elements such as a table, a chair and a glass. The eight artists that are brought together in this exhibition share a number of traits which cannot be recognized in the form of a theme, technique or particular visual source. Rather, these artists are connected through their similar intuition or approach towards defining an object.

valerie_traan is a space for objects and subjects where both functional and subjective approaches are heard; often balancing on the dividing line between design, art and architecture. For this project at the Rivoli building in Brussels, valerie_traan invites Clarisse Bruynbroeck and Ralph Collier to create an exhibition that represents the mindset of the gallery. Therefore, En cours d’installation is also an encounter between artists who have a history with the gallery in dialogue with new voices.
