Centre for Fine Arts - BOZAR

A fire broke out on the roof of the Centre for Fine Arts on January 18. Your emotional messages of support touch us deeply. We are currently evaluating the damage and will be closed until January 25. Thank you for understanding.The exhibition Philippe Vandenberg. Molenbeek is an eyewitness report. It is made up of large and small observations on paper, spanning Philippe Vandenberg’s final years, which he spent in Molenbeek. In his drawings and assemblages, Vandenberg takes the viewer on a tour of burlesque Molenbeek: an imaginary site where personal and collective traumas become entangled with metropolitan problems and global conflicts. Through this satirical universe, Vandenberg exposes the recurring structures of oppression, fundamentalism and one-dimensional thinking. Molenbeek is the first solo exhibition of the late works on paper by Philippe Vandenberg (1952-2009).  Learn more about Philippe Vandenberg’s Molenbeek years.  Can't wait to visit this exhibition?
