Our beautiful Brussels


Last weekend I visited some temporary exhibition initiatives, set up in the context of Art Brussels. There was 'Out of Africa', an exhibition curated by Anne-Catherine Kenis and Damien De Lepeleire @ rue de Praetere, Brussels. The show combines classical african art with contemporary artists like Rein Dufait, Christophe Terlinden, Amélie de Brouwer, Olivier Stévenart, Michel François, a couple of mango's and many others artists, things:





And the 'Not really, really' exhibition. For the 5th time Brussels based collector Fréderic de Goldschmidt exhibits a part of his private collection. The show puts mainly sculptures on display and the space itself (a stripped down former mental health facility) dictates the trajectory of display:

Paulo Nimer Pjota, 'Oferenda, paisagem e guerra', 2014
