Fans of street art can admire a beautiful 80 square metre mural in pastel tones that has taken residence at number 36 rue Saint Christophe in downtown Brussels. The work of art created by French artist Anthea Missy is a portrait of Ihsane Jarfi, a young homosexual murdered in 2012 in LiÃ¨ge, Belgium and serves as a memorial for all victims of homophobic acts.

written by Vincent

The World as a Pavilion is the title of the exhibition at the Brussels Bozar showcasing a retrospective of the experimental work and research of Croatian architect Vjenceslav Richter (1948-1998). During this prolific period spanning five decades, Richter produced a number of unique and significant projects blending architectural projects and visual arts.

BOZAR (Museum of fine Arts) and the MSU (Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art) both joined forces to organise this during the Croatian European Union Presidency.

Below are some of the pictures I took of the â€œThe World as a Pavilionâ€ exposition

S&M Manneken Piss

written by Vincent

I know that the Manneken Pis has an official wardrobe of over 900 different costumes that you can see him wear on particular occasions according to an official calendar of events but this was the first time I’ve noticed one of his clones in a kinky leather S&M costume just a block away from his official statue.

You’ll find a replica of the Manneken piss in the window of the Boris Boy gay clothing store at Rue du Midi 95, Brussels, Belgium

Mondo Cane expo at Bozar

by Vincent July 16, 2020

written by Vincent

Mondo Cane is the title of the exhibition by Brussels artists Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys that represented the Belgian pavilion and won a special mention award during the last Venice Art Biennial in 2019 is now showing at the Bozar in Brussels.

On one side, this exhibition showcases a reassuring world, with familiar craftsmen of yesteryear, working their old trades and on the other, a darker and more disturbing side , populated with the psychotic or mentally ill, common criminals, collaborators, spies or souls possessed of by devil. To add to the general feeling of discomfort, about half of these dolls are automated, performing repetitive actions as you move around. A bit of the Adventures of Tintin but for adults, if you like…

This exhibit is held at the Bozar only until 21st of July 2020
