The Spinoza Car is the work of Thomas Hirschhorn, a big admirer of the famous Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Using the car as a medium, the artists is work using two kinds of elements, the profane and the spiritual reverberate the heart of Spinozist’s work in his quest for truth. The spiritual can be seen expressed through through the books and other objects bearing messages. The profane here is depicted the countless glasses taped to the car.
The car is exposed in the Horta hall of theBozar between 26 Feb ’21 — 30 May ’21
Below are a few pictures of this very interesting piece of art:
The Brussels-based Une Ville en Couleur non-profit association, who work towards opening up the world of contemporary art in the open spaces of the Capital has recently invited the artist Sainer to paint a large 400 square meters mural in the proximity of the Brussels-North railway station.
Portrayed above is a mother and her two children rendered in his easily recognizable chiaroscuro tones. The mother and the daughter have their faces covered by the shade. The little girl, hidden behind her mother, looks at the viewer with her hands clasped under a piece of Rowan tree which in Slavic symbolism is supposed to warn them of upcoming danger. A soft atmosphere which reflects the tenderness that the mother seems to have for her children.
Sainer is a Polish artist who graduated from the Lodz School of Fine Arts. He’s been passionate about art since the age of 16. The artist is a member of the famous Etam Cru, a duo of gifted artists that he forms with his friend Bezt.
At the initiative of the city of Brussels, four young female artists were given “carte blanche” to create a collective mural on theme of the “La Belle Hip Hop festival“. An eight day musical event dedicated solely to the women of Hip Hop which takes place each year in the capital on International Women’s Day.
Leading dancers from the KVS (Royal Flemish Theatre) accompanied by a Congolese delegation from the Goma Dance Festival and the urban dance troupe No Way Back teamed up to make a special performance in the street of Brussels to also mark the event.
