Clémentine Vaultier is a French artist based in Brussels (b.1991). Her interest, although trained as a ceramist, is in the surroundings of the fire rather than the production it engenders. Her long term research on how we raise, use and diffuse warmth connects the worlds of ceramics, performance and pedagogy around the fire, literally and by means of documentation. The creating, collecting and (re-)arranging of technical, historical and archival material in dialogue with others allows to create narratives around 'warmth', as a basic human need and phenomenon. Doing so, Vaultier’s practice is necessarily plural, in dialogue, and the output intended to keep the fire going. Clémentine Vaultier works at Max and is an artist associate at Jubilee - platform for artistic research.
She is the artistic assistant to the ceramic department of La Cambre national school of arts (Brussels) where she also coordinates a transdisciplinary research course on heat and collective firing for master students.
She graduated from the master Autonomous Design at KASK, (2019 Gent) where she received the “Bruynseraede - De Witte honor prize” for her still going research on Warmth, a central topic she looks at as a physical as well as a social phenomenon.
She also graduated from La Cambre (2017 Brussels) in Ceramics and Central Saint Martins (2011 London) in Fine Arts - contextual practice.
