Kikie Crêvecœur entre les pages

About this book

Kikie Crêvecœur loves books and, for more than thirty years, she has placed her images between their pages. It was therefore natural that a book be devoted to this artist passionate about the resonances created by words, the objects that convey them, the men and women who shape them, wear them, bring them to life and play with them. Kikie Crêvecœur entre les pages, published by Éditions Esperluète on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name dedicated to the artist by the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, offers a journey through an abundant work. Pierre-Jean Foulon retraces the stages since the artist left the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and his participation in the Razkas collective at the beginning of the 1980s. Quickly, Kikie Crêvecœur found its visual identity in the choice of the relief engraving on an unusual material, erasers. Kikie Crêvecœur has in fact chosen the object that is used to erase in order to keep track of life, to trace paths of fleeting impressions, to create networks of questions in which black and white are balanced like sounds and silences mingle in the speech.
