16 LOT LEMM Lot Lemm has worked at the theater company Needcompany since She initially started as costume designer on various productions including Le Voyeur (1994), Le Pouvoir (1995), Needcompany s Macbeth (1996), Le Désir (1996), Caligula (1997), The Snakesong Trilogy (1998), Morning Song (1999), Needcompany s King Lear (2000), Images of Affection (2002), Goldfish Game (feature film, 2002), No Comment (2003), Isabella s Room (2004), The Lobster Shop (2006), The Deer House (2008), The art of entertainment (2011), all by Jan Lauwers, and All is Vanity (2006) with Viviane De Muynck. When it comes to Grace Ellen Barkey s productions, her involvement increases with each one. She started as a costume designer on Tres (1995), Stories (1997), Rood Red Rouge (1998) and (AND) (2002). On the productions Few Things (2002), Chunking (2005), The Porcelain Project (2007), This door is too small (for a bear) (2010) end MUSH-ROOM (2013) she also defines the stage setting. In 2004, as a result of their close artistic collaboration, Grace Ellen Barkey & Lot Lemm set up the Lemm&Barkey label. They designed the costumes for Isabella s room (2004) and were responsible for the concept, set and costumes for Chunking and The Porcelain Project. In 2007 they created a porcelain installation for the production The Porcelain Project. It has been shown at several museums including BOZAR (Brussels) and the Benaki Museum (Athens). The curator Luk Lambrecht then invited them to take part in the group exhibition I am your private dancer (2008) at Strombeek cultural centre, they created works for the group exhibition Het spel van de waanzin, over gekte in film en theater (2008) at the Dr Guislain Museum (Ghent) and were invited to take part in the contemporary ceramics section of the Down to Earth (2009) exhibition by its curator Hugo Meert. Hugo Meert later invited Lot Lemm to participate in the group exhibition KICK CERAMIC (2011, Halle). Here, Lemm shows work by Lemm&Barkey as well as new work under the name Lemm&Lemm. Le Tourneur de Toulouse is an autonomous work of Lemm&Barkey, developed from the various installations around The Porcelain Project. Galerie Valerie Traan invited Lemm&Lemm to take part in and make a work for the exhibition Plates for Soulmates; the result is Walking Dinner (2012). For My Pleasure Only by Lemm&Lemm is the departure point for a bigger installation which will result in a collection of 100 different porcelain figures that will be interconnected. The curator Pieter T Jonck has invited Lemm&Barkey to put together an exhibition on their last three productions: Chunking (2005), The Porcelain Project (2007) and This door is too small (for a bear) (2009) for the Modemuseum in Hasselt in It was part of the third Hasselt Triennale / Superbodies: an art project for contemporary art, fashion and design. For this they made 18 video works entitled 18 videos, in which images are constructed and deconstructed almost in passing. Human figures become forms, matter becomes a part of the body, hesitation becomes eroticism.
