PILAR ASAP: The Sexual Feeling / Healing Edition
Let's talk about sex, baby. The act deserves a more in-depth conversation than it often receives nowadays. Pilar pulls out all the stops with an exhibition around the re-definition of sexual energy, sensual concerts a repair diner on the lesser sides of sex and much more. Join the conversation!
Enough dicking around. Let’s talk about sex. Sex deserves a more in-depth conversation than it often receives nowadays. When we speak of ‘the act’ we often like to perpatuate the myth that sex is always wild, horny, epic or thrilling. And yes, we proudly share that we are into the latest trends (Poly! Pegging! Tantra-islands!), but little on what role sex plays in our lives or wheter that suits us. This could be better. From 02 to 30 March, we pull out all the stops with an exhibition around the re-definition of sexual energy, sensual concerts, a repair diner on the lesser sides of sex, sexual education in the form of a performance, a literary evening on sex & the power of imagination and steamy nightlifes. Join the conversation!

VW Love Bugs - The Buzz Edition
Just as the ID. Buzz arrives in Belgium the “VW Love Bugs - The Buzz Edition” exhibition will retrace the epic story of 7 generations of the Volkswagen Bus, from the first Combi T1 through to the T7, with, as a bonus, of course, the ID. Buzz electric.
Just as the ID. Buzz arrives in Belgium the “VW Love Bugs - The Buzz Edition” exhibition will retrace the epic story of 7 generations of the Volkswagen Bus, from the first Combi T1 through to the T7, with, as a bonus, of course, the ID. Buzz electric.
Several passionate owners have kindly loaned us their vehicles that will be prominently displayed at Autoworld during two months. Each vehicle will be put in the spotlight with its owner, thanks to a video in which the latter will recount its history, its stories and its collection of anecdotes.
Acquiring a Transporter is never a trivial matter, whether it is used as a work tool or to set off to discover new horizons. It has accompanied so many generations, so many journeys, at times both long and far. Far more than just vehicles, these Volkswagen Combi are above all “at home’ on trips, faithful road-going companions … They are fitted out, and decorated … in a nutshell, similar to the Beetle, they are pampered like true family members.
It all started back in 1947, with a pencil drawn sketch: the Dutch importer, Ben Pon, spotted a simple flat-bed vehicle at the Volkswagen factory, the ‘Plattenwagen’. From this basic idea on a sheet of paper in his diary he drew the major outlines of a “transporter” fitted with the genetic heritage of the Beetle. Production kicked off in the month of March 1948. It was to be the beginning of a true on-going success story.
The exhibition at Autoworld will not only pay tribute to the entire generation of the Volkswagen Bus but – being the month of the Love Bugs Parade – an area of the museum will be dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the import contract of the Volkswagen make for Belgium, and the introduction of its little sister, the Beetle, in Belgium by D’Ieteren.
The Love Bugs Parade, to be held on Sunday 12th February 2023, will have this anniversary as its central theme.

Art nouveau on display!
An exhibition of heritage and contemporary posters promoting Art nouveau from yesterday to today.
During the Belle Epoque, the craze for posters was immense. The greatest Belgian and Brussels artists of the Art nouveau period were thus illustrated on the walls of the city, through informative, advertising and cultural promotion posters. Victor Horta, Privat Livemont, Paul Hankar, Henry Van de Velde, Victor Creten, Gustave Flasschoen, all produced striking graphic works. The aim of the exhibition L'Art nouveau s'affiche! is to enable visitors to discover, through an "infinitely generous" medium, both the Art nouveau aesthetic and the art of the artist. The aim of the exhibition is to showcase the Art nouveau aesthetic, the genius of its Belgian poster artists, and the city of Brussels at a time when it was driven by an ideology that reacted against industrialisation.
"Art nouveau on Display" will also be a project that moves away from a classical and contemplative approach to Art nouveau. By inviting contemporary poster artists and typographers, graffiti artists and tattoo artists to give their version of the Art nouveau 2023 poster, the exhibition will establish a strong link between the Art nouveau heritage and contemporary creation.

Facing Violences
A programme on quiet refusal, self-defense and riot.
MUSIC, PERFORMANCE, EXPO, CONVERSATIONS, FILM
Violence is everywhere. On the 24/7 news cycle, scrolling down our screens, seething at a distance or looming close to home. When it doesn’t blow out in words it can pin us down under heavy boots, biased laws and towering hierarchies. Violence can be overwhelming, enraging and numbing, and in some cases, it can provoke immediate action.
How can we relate, react and reflect on violence when we keep experiencing it in our bodies, environments, technologies, bureaucracies, norms and narratives? What about the bodies that are constantly on alert, (dis)armed, ready to strike back? Can we practice violence as resistance when life is at stake? Can we build (unlikely) alliances, share strategies and face the harm together?
Let’s try out some things. Let’s share our thoughts, anger, love and research. Let’s resist, refuse, contradict – even ourselves – defend, listen, dance and learn. Let’s have a spring programme filled with performances, expos, concerts, films, workshops and conversations. Let’s look the pain and each other in the eyes. Let’s face violence together.

Bond in Motion
For the first time on the European continent, spectacular sets, making of models and about fifty original vehicles (motorcycles, cars, planes, submarines, hovercrafts, helicopters, ...), straight out of the 25 James Bond films, will be gathered in one place from December 9, 2022 to May 14, 2023 at Brussels Expo.
For the first time on the European continent, the "Bond in Motion" exhibition is a first for the city of Brussels and the Brussels Region. Brussels Expo will host this exceptional event, starting on December 9. Created in 1953 by Ian Fleming, brought to the screen in 1962 with the film James Bond vs, the James Bond saga is more alive than ever. If the most famous agent in the world has succeeded in many of his missions, it is often thanks to the vehicles designed by the ingenious "Q". From the early Aston Martin DB5 to the latest model, from the Lotus that turns into a submarine to motorcycles, boats and planes, "Bond in Motion" will give film enthusiasts the chance to step behind the scenes. In the 60 years of its existence, the creativity of the teams behind the James Bond adventure has never failed. "Bond in Motion" is an opportunity to discover not only the vehicles but also the secrets of their making through documents gathered for the first time. The realization of the cult scenes and the most extraordinary stunts will finally be revealed. Many other "non-automotive" objects will also be exhibited and will certainly cause some nice surprises.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition "Bond in Motion", animations, meetings and events will be organized around the 007 saga. More than an exhibition, "Bond in Motion" promises a real experience that will enthrall all audiences, from the youngest to the first time fans, from the crazy cinema fans to the technology enthusiasts and the adventure fans, without forgetting all those who want to live a family outing that touches all generations.
Many animations and various surprises (still classified top secret for the moment!) will be planned for young and old.
A 007 bar - restaurant and James Bond stores will of course be in the right place, ready to ready to satisfy the desires of visitors.

View from my window
A photo exhibition displaying the experience of connecting worldviews in a time of isolation.
Initiated in March 2020 by Barbara Duriau, the 3 million member Facebook group View from my window collects intimate and collective testimonies from millions of confined people around the world. At the Atomium, from March 24th, the temporary exhibition "View from my window" gathers a selection of more than 400 photographs among the 200,000 images from this Belgian success story with a worldwide echo.
From New York to Moscow, Brussels, Sao Paulo or Darjeeling... Every day, from their window, the members of this 2.0 community capture and share their view.
The exhibition "View from my window" translates a human experience and offers a sensitive and poetic dive into the intimacy of all those who have gone through this very special event. The exhibition, which is based on audio-visual installations, prints, webcams and time-lapses, gives a playful attention to the visit.
Ordinary or breathtaking, each photo is accompanied by a simple caption or a powerful life story.
Through this exhibition, the Atomium is delighted to dedicate its spaces and its exceptional panorama of the Belgian capital, the cradle of Europe, to a humanist project conceived as a powerful invitation to share and travel.
When one door closes, many windows open!

Magical Theatres
The paper theatre, miniature theatre or table top theatre was once a source of pleasure for young and old. These days, it has sunk into oblivion. The "Magical Theatres" exhibition brings back to life the magical world of this toy, its fantastic colourful decors and its small paper actors.
The Halle Gate opens the doors onto a world full of stories, from Shakespeare plays to the tales of the Grimm Brothers.
These delightful works of art, that appeared two centuries ago, reflect the magnificent European theatre stages and give insight in the private world of 19th-century families. The exhibition reveals complete theatres from this period and wonderful uncut original paper stages. Creations by contemporary artists are also on display. Visitors will be amazed by virtual dramatisations. Younger visitors are guided by a paper puppet, Puss in Boots.
The Magical Theatres exhibition is situated on the third floor of the magnificent Halle Gate Museum building. In a permanent presentation, this vestige of the second surrounding wall of Brussels reveals the period in which the city was fortified and offers impressive panoramic views from its rampart walk. The annual temporary exhibitions focus on different aspects of day-to-day life in the past and present, and often find their inspiration in the European Ethnology collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History.

Swedish Ecstasy
Hilma af Klint, August Strindberg and other visionaries
In the spring of 2023, all eyes will be on the far north. We know Sweden mainly for its pragmatism, great engineers and entrepreneurs. But there is an important yet lesser known aspect of the nation’s spiritual life, visible in its art and literature. Bozar is therefore staging an exhibition that brings together a number of figureheads from the Swedish art scene. Mysticism and esoteric speculation runs like a thread through their work.
We will be showing work by some of the country’s most important literary figures, from the 18th-century Emanuel Swedenborg to the turn of the 20th century with August Strindberg, who is known as a writer but who also created wonderful drawings and paintings. In the same period, we find visual art by visionaries such as C.F. Hill, Ernst Josephson and Hilma af Klint.
Hilma af Klint dreamed of a spiral-shaped building to house her most important works, the so-called Paintings for the Temple with as many as 193 works. During her lifetime, that dream never materialised, the temple remained an imaginary creation - until now. Bozar reached back to her notebooks and built a VR installation of Hilma's vision in the exhibition, conceived by Stolpe Publishing and Acute Art.
Up to this day, these visions continue to inspire contemporary artists like Carsten Höller, Christine Ödlund, Daniel Youssef, Cecilia Edefalk and Lars Olof Loeld.

Design-A-Book
The Wittockiana and the Atelier du Livre de Mariemont present an exhibition devoted to contemporary book design practices in Belgium.
The creations exhibited focus on research and innovation: they question the medium of the book itself, its materiality, reading and writing practices, and the relationship between texts and images.
The Wittockiana and the Atelier du Livre de Mariemont present an exhibition devoted to contemporary practices and research in book design and bookbinding in Belgium. Both institutions, driven by the same desire to study and showcase the book, are united in their concern to pass on educational knowledge, to stimulate creation and to encourage research applied to the book arts.
As a medium, the book touches upon many fields, whether they be literature, philosophy, the plastic arts, design, bookbinding or publishing. A ground of infinite possibilities, it raises many questions and opens up multiple paths of exploration, both in terms of its content and its materiality. In the domain of book creation, the relationship between the medium and what it conveys, translates, hides and reveals is a constant subject of subversion and experimentation, giving rise to some truly surprising pieces.
This exhibition provides an overview of book design in Belgium over the last five years. It is an opportunity to discover the abundant teachings and practices of the book on both sides of the country. The creations on display, selected by an international jury following a call for projects, have been chosen according to criteria that highlight innovation: they question the medium of the book itself, its materiality, the practices of reading and writing, and the relationship between texts and images.
The books will be presented on different scenographic devices: glass showcases, tables, videos and sound installations will highlight the unique properties of each creation. In addition, some of the works can be manipulated by the public: a way of bringing the audience closer to the book as an artistic medium.
The exhibition also includes the research and innovative binding techniques developed by the four winners - Anne Goy, Denis Grégoire, Julie Auzillon and Clara Gevaert - of the Triennial research grant in book creation and design, initiated by the Atelier du Livre in 2010.

Michel François
Contre nature
A look at 40 years of artistic practice by Belgian artist Michel François, from early work to several new creations he made especially for Bozar. Using sculpture, photography, video, painting and installation, the artist creates a web of shifting connections between his artworks. The exhibition is a unique concept in which the 'total artwork' is central and the exhibition space becomes an extension of his studio. François shakes up reality, questions it, and time and again breathes new life into its relationship with art. He transforms seemingly simple objects and materials into bearers of meaning. How can a gesture change the status of an object? What is the influence of the artist's hand? And what is the role of coincidence?

Squarely Furry
Little Furry wakes up every morning and hurries to the toilet which is far too big for him. He then hurriedly tucks into his breakfast, gives his mummy a kiss, and then briskly walks to school. To school? There is nothing more uncertain, as adventure awaits him on the corner of the street.
Little Furry wakes up every morning and hurries to the toilet which is far too big for him. He then hurriedly tucks into his breakfast, gives his mummy a kiss, and then briskly walks to school. To school? There is nothing more uncertain, as adventure awaits him on the corner of the street.
This unchanging pattern, with different variations each time, is the invention of comic artist Pierre Bailly and scriptwriter Céline Fraipont, who have created a completely wordless comic book accessible to children from the age of 3.
Highly colourful, this playful exhibition invites children to climb, jump, hide and crawl, from one panel to the next, immersing themselves in a different adventure each time, just like Little Furry.

Cerise, Lulu and Nelson, the world of childhood by Aurélie Neyret
The French illustrator and cartoonist Aurélie Neyret has made of the world of childhood her creative universe. After numerous illustrated books and collective publications, she made her debut in comics alongside Joris Chamblain with the series Les Carnets de Cerise, the success of which brought her recognition from the public as well as from critics. This was followed by the adventures of Lulu and Nelson, a story written by Charlotte Girard and Jean-Marie Omont. With a dynamic and colourful style, the illustrator presents endearing young heroes in search of themselves and of freedom. A sensitive and original universe that the exhibition proposes to explore and discover all its depth and creativity.

Danai Anesiadou: D POSSESSIONS
In the exhibition D POSSESSIONS, Danai Anesiadou draws back the curtain on our cataclysmic times, presenting an allegorical scenography consisting of newly produced sculptures and collages related to the current energy crisis.
In the last fifteen years, Danai Anesiadou has developed a range of metaphysical and personal concerns into a seductive body of work referencing cinema, occult sciences, Greek antiquity and contemporary affairs. A “21st-century European poster girl for crisis”, her work is highly perceptive to both the political and the invisible fabric of reality.
In an effort to comprehend the frenzied circumstances facing humanity at present, Anesiadou looks towards hindu cosmology and its mention of the Kali Yuga. Believed to be the age of iron and darkness, its depiction of an inverted reality—where the inmates are running the asylum, as it were—resonates deeply with her.
For her WIELS exhibition titled D POSSESSIONS, Anesiadou attempts to encase the entirety of her material possessions: household objects, shoes and clothes, prized belongings—everything is solidified in exuberant assemblages made from resin or vacuum-sealed in industrial grade packaging.
At its core is a desire to rid herself of all personal belongings by transforming them into orgonites. These energy-transforming devices, discovered by the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), are meant to capture a cosmic ‘orgone’ current, transmute it into positive life energy and then disperse it. By alchemizing her possessions in this radical way, Anesiadou makes an unequivocal attempt to reshape her own life as well as her surroundings. Whatever we might call her: a ghostbuster, a shaman, or even an exorcist in training, Danai Anesiadou will own nothing and she will be happy.
