PAST:

Atlas of Ovens participated in

OPENBARE WERKEN 2025

Artists playing in and around the city : The art festival openbare werken invites you to (re)discover the city. Art practices emerge in places where you don't always expect them. Artists embrace the margins, connect with what already exists, and challenge the dominant currents of the city. The festival highlights these quirky creators. They engage with public space, explore relationships, and take root in squares - with the swamp as an undercurrent and nourishment and kinship as a common thread.

During the month of April, Artist Clémentine Vaultier is the resident of the Oven Pavilion. Wearing her heat goggles, she will look for ovens in the city of Vilnius and it’s surrounding.

For Art Rotterdam, The Balcony presents an iteration of its signature trio exhibition format, echoing its current exhibition cycle, Extractive Imagination(s). Structured as a single installation exploring warmthand heat as producers of social relations, the presentation features a large textile commission by Adele Dipasquale, sheltering the research project Atlas of Ovens by the collective Vaultier, Grommen, and Royakkers, and punctuated by Arjun Das’ series of limestone sculptures.

What if an artwork is not an object, but a process?

Platform Kunst in Opdracht, NICC and Netwerk Aalst organised a public forum exploring ephemeral art practices in public space. To start discussions from the artist’s perspectives, Atlas of Ovens (amongst other artists) has been invited to present our practice and moderate a round table on “Relational Frameworks: Working Together”.

LINK TO THE RESEARCH ON RISING WARMTH WITH A FEW DETOURS
http://germainrandaxhe.com/Vaultier/research_on_rising_warmth_version_sept19.pdf

“Clémentine presents a set up that seems simple at first glance. She is welcoming the jury and spectators to gather on a round woolen carpet. A video is shown that documents the making of a ceramic oven. A joyful participatory project that she carried out with fellow students. The video explains her interest in heat and fire as a transformative culture producing process. A workbook expands the subject by combining historic facts and fictions, imagery that was found online and other elements in a unity in which temperature is the editorial principle.

The structure of the book, organized around rising temperatures, conveys a deep reflection on the entwinement between the chemical and the cultural. It is at once an intellectually exciting piece and one that leaves much room open to the viewer’s imagination thanks to the vitality of its aesthetics. “

_ "Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter. It applies to a wide variety of topics in science. Historically, thermodynamics developed out of a desire to increase the efficiency of early steam engines.”

Wikipedia

_ “People automatically arrange themselves in a circle when they want to look at something together. This probably gave rise to the form of the arena, the circus, and the trading posts at the stock exchange.”
