Emerging out of Klintberg and Nemer’s ongoing research into the life and work of potter Rosalie Namer (1925–2006), She Arranges is a multichannel video work in which the artists handle, arrange, and rearrange a collection of Namer’s pottery. The movement research was led by dancer Stephen Thompson, resulting in a series of improvisations that were filmed at the Atelier Eiffel in Paris in 2023.  
      The focus of the movement score and film project is the haptic and sculptural qualities of Namer’s pottery, as well as the bonds of kinship forged between the artists and Rosalie Namer herself. The goal was for the pottery to be the protagonist, for Namer to be the one guiding the arranging of the pottery and the artists’ bodies. She Arranges is currently in postproduction, and will première in October 2024 at Ceramic Friends: Façonner l’Intimité at the McClure Gallery in Westmount, both in Canada. She Arranges is financially supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Daily plating on the same single ceramic plate made by Rosalie Namer (1925–2006). Beauty and care in what and how we eat is never frivolous.

Photographed arrangements of flowers and postcards made and sent by Montreal potter Rosalie Goodman Namer (1925–2006), Nemer’s grandmother, as well as shards of Namer’s broken pottery. The photographs are accompanied by short narrated audio pieces which offer didactic and interpretive information about the arrangements, along with readings of Namer’s epistolary writing on the selected postcards, which were created and sent in the mid 1990s. The audio tracks joined the images on a specially designed webplatform as part of the exhibition Critical Proximity: Something about Human Connections that Can Happen When There Is a Fissure, an exhibition curated by Erandy Vergara for Oboro, Montreal. Each audio track is narrated in English and French versions.
