"How to make #institutions more liveable, more inventive and self-critical? How to promote emancipation and horizontality in #schools and museums? These are among the practical aims of Ce que Laurence Rassel nous fait faire, a book of conversations with Laurence Rassel, director of the #Erg (école de recherche graphique) in Brussels. [...] In 2018, a group of three Brussels and Paris-based visual artists—Agathe Boulanger, Signe Frederiksen and Jules Lagrange—started a year-long conversations with Laurence, exploring her social and educational background, her ways of working, and examining the tools she applies in her daily practice of running institutions: feminism, the open source and free software movements, and the institutional psychotherapy developed by #FrançoisTosquelles and #JeanOury in the psychiatric field around the mid-20th century.
Defining Laurence Rassel as a curator, an activist or an educator, is over-simplifying. Rather, she is a practitioner who thinks with others, and with what she has learned from #ChrisMarker, #DonnaHaraway, #TerreThaemlitz, #XavierLeRoy, #OctaviaButler, #FélixGuattari or #IsabelleStengers, to name only a few."
