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.

ASHRAF SHARIF KHAN & VIKTOR MAREK I DE
(Fun In The Church)
An elusive "Sufistep" (Viktor Marek) somewhere between HipHop, Acid, Electro and Dub meets a masterful Sitar performance (Ashraf Sharif Khan). The two of them took more than 10 years of time in the Hamburg Ebbe-Road-Studios to find a suitable sonic space for this album. A long way, after all they transform South Asian classical music into western club music - and not vice versa. Except in the song "Maschinenland" which we may understand as a loving nod to the post-punk world of the eighties, a cover version of a song originally performed by the group Abwärts - that eventually can be performed in Islamabad, too. For amateurs of Indian Vibes, or Charanjit Singh.
ELEKTRONISCH VOLUME ELECTRONIQUE I BE
Résolument héritier de la techno, le volume électronique est une FreeTechno. La face visible du volume est une prise live enregistrée dans la cuisine. Cette forme électronique n'éprouve aucune satisfaction à vouloir se montrer d'une manière plus qu'une autre mais elle a ses habitudes, qu'elle tente de changer avec les autres. Elle privilégie le savoir faire de l'amateurisme et continue à répandre la bonne nouvelle qui en découle : la musique machinique est une entité accessible à tous dans sa fabrication.

His last album on Lumière Noire records is a pure beauty of electro pop. For amateurs of David Chesworth...

SLY & THE FAMILY DRONE I UK
Sly & The Family Drone are back in town with the heaviest avant-garde jamz that you can really get down to. Using drums, baritone sax, and heavily processed electronics Sly break down music to its base elements and reconstruct as cathartic rituals of amplifier worship, communing with the audience-as-congregation by everyone getting right up in there, into the heart of the chaos. True believers in the ecstatic possibilities of noise, they are here to bludgeon you with cacophonic joy and camaraderie, oscillating your body and modulating your mind into triumphant submission.
The ampersand is obligatory.
THEOREME I FR
(Mapple Death Records)
Maïssa D. from Lyon, France is back with an incredible collection of songs that continues and evolves her tradition of hypnotic bass heavy mantras that mix industrial dance, robotic funk experimentalism and hallucinatory club downers.
Obsessed with the idea of literally going underground, ‘Les Artisans’ feels telluric, stemming from the soil where rhythm is dictated by pounding steps and feverish monologues.
VANLIGT FOLK I SW
Vanligt Folk usually shares presence and effect and in general, they fancy regression rather than stupidity or such ideals analog to growth. Musicwise, Vanligt folk likes old and new music and are inspired by good and bad events and music. Vanligt folk is playing on drums, machines, backtracks, and vocals. Since their first release in 2013, they’ve released 4 full-length albums (iDEAL recordings, Kontra Musik, Kess Kill) and a handful of EP’s. Their last release, Black Friday Hele Uka (BFHU), was released by iDEAL and was said to be
”a stressed and emotional thing. Rational like a child and with a medieval resolution-thinking. This unhoney-baby, unhappy with ever being born, but while awake, vomiting and scatting popular music over the sick-spreaders' heads (moms n dads). Not just for the basic fact that it’s fun but also for inaccessible remission”.

Goldorak, the artist. Guided tour of the Goldorak exhibition.
Becoming a Mangaka is an art by itself.
Hailing from Japan’s rich history, this particular form of art has developped its own codes that we can decipher from the heroes, resurrected by these contemporary artists. In which way have Goldorak & Venusia been drawn? What about their friends or enemies? Take a look at their eyes, discover the form of their face and from there on...it’s up to you, to create your very own super–hero. Starting from simple materials, children born from 1978 on will have the opportunity to give form to their dreams in a familiar co-creation.
