Clémentine Vaultier is a french artist based in Brussels (b.1991). She 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)

She graduated from the master Autonomous Design at KASK, (Gent 2019) where she started her research on Warmth, a central topic she looks at as a physical as well as a social phenomenon. She also graduated from La Cambre in Ceramics (2017 Brussels) and Central Saint Martins in Fine Arts - contextual practice (2011 London). 

Passionate about how people lived, live and can live together, Clémentine Vaultier’s 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 her 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.
