Fabrice Schneider's 'Mars' Exhibition at Établissement d'en Face Explores Interior Psychodrama

Fabrice Schneider, an artist from Brussels, presents his solo exhibition 'Mars' at Établissement d'en Face, a former law office situated across from the Palais de Justice. Notable pieces include 'Table Jardinière/Ivory Crib' (2026), featuring a slender crib in a dimly lit space, and 'Untitled (Exercise)', which organizes hardware in neat rows. The exhibition obstructs views, including a bay window that has been painted over to conceal the courthouse. Two films, 'Untitled, Slideshow' and 'Untitled (Peter)', delve into rhythmic meditation. The show wraps up with 'Untitled (Porte Bouteille)', marking 35 years of measurements, alongside a collection of magazine images depicting wealthy families. Schneider, recognized for his rock climbing photography, reflects on themes of time, control, mourning, and the intersection of public and private life amid looming funding cuts to independent cultural venues.
