Els Dietvorst - This is what you came for
The exhibition This is what you came for is conceived as an encounter and an invitation. The proposal grew out of the almost ritualistic actions and creations that Els Dietvorst started during the C19 lockdown. This is what you came for at CENTRALE and Bozar creates a fluid wave between the two places where one mirrors the other.
The exhibition This is what you came for (28.04 > 18.09.2022) is a project by Els Dietvorst and the BARЯA MOVEMENT at CENTRALE for contemporary art & Bozar in the mark of the BelgianArtPrize.
BelgianArtPrize 2021 laureate Els Dietvorst (°1964, Kapellen) is a visual artist and filmmaker who has been living in Ireland for the last 12 years. Dialogue, experiment and intuition are recurring strategies in her work. Ever since the 1990s, the artist has been moved by social issues such as migration, racism and climate change. She investigates the human condition, which in her oeuvre results in themes such as life and death, fear, alienation and desire.
The exhibition This is what you came for is conceived as an encounter and an invitation. The proposal grew out of the almost ritualistic actions and creations that Els Dietvorst started during the C19 lockdown. This is what you came for at CENTRALE and Bozar creates a fluid wave between the two places where one mirrors the other. A myriad of mediums including sculpture, installation, video and performance will introduce you to the universe of Els Dietvorst, in which she is always looking for connections with people and creates places for encounters.

Guided tour City Hall of Brussels, inner rooms
The City of Brussels Town Hall is without doubt one of most beautiful in the country! Even internationally, few cities can boast such a majestic and ancient town hall! Its age and architectural grandeur make it an unmissable site in Brussels!
This Gothic-style edifice built in the 15th century, is sublimated by the decor of the Grand-Place, often described as the most beautiful square in the world...
Do you know why the wing on the right of the tower is shorter than the one on the left, and why the entrance is asymmetrical? It' s simply due to the fact that the building was built in several phases during the 15th century... did you know that the building still has some original features, but that it also has many additions and restored elements?
As you can see, a guided tour is essential if you want to know everything there is to know about this building, which has been the nerve centre of political and administrative life for more than 600 years, and still is to this day!
In the company of a guide, you'll learn more about the context of the different periods of construction of the building, by observing the main façade overlooking the Grand-Place and the inner courtyard. Then you’ll step inside the Town Hall to marvel at its various rooms and galleries (Council Chamber, College Chamber, Wedding Chamber, Gothic Chamber, Portrait Gallery, Grangé Gallery, etc.), and all the decorations and works of art they contain.
To admire this masterpiece, buy your ticket online or head to one of our tourist offices (BIP, 2-4 rue Royale or the one on the ground floor of the Town Hall itself, on the Grand-Place, on its right-hand side when you face the building). Be advised, tickets are only available 5 days before your visit.

Flower Carpet
The Flower Carpet is 70 m long by 24 m wide. 1,680 m2 of begonias, dahlias, grass and bark.
A hundred volunteers assemble the carpet in less than eight hours.
The first Flower Carpet of Brussels was created in 1971 and has been a showstopper every two years on the Grand-Place since 1986.
SCENTS, COLOURS, LIGHTS AND SOUNDS…
Every other summer, on the weekend of August 15th, the Flower Carpet offers a chance to stroll across the Grand-Place, a jewel of Gothic architecture, to inhale the fragrant scent of the begonias and admire its details. This extraordinary spectacle is made complete by a visit to the balcony of the Town Hall, which offers a wide-angle view of the work. A musical theme is especially composed for each edition. A magnificent sound-and-light show on the Grand-Place accompanies the spectacle every evening.
