The artist who resists
WHO IS PHILIPPE VANDENBERG?
The Belgian artist Philippe Vandenberg (1952-2009) was a man of many faces: he drew, painted and played with word and image. Keep moving and take risks to challenge artistic and social orders: that was his credo. The vagabond moved from Ghent to Molenbeek in 2006. We are exhibiting his work from this Brussels period from 17 September in BOZAR. Who was this radical Belgian artist? A brief introduction.

A conversation with Ana Torfs
The artist's breath
Having to close her new exhibition due to the COVID-19 crisis, a mere 24 hours after opening, came as a blow for artist Ana Torfs. After the exhausting preparations for the show, she spent most of the lockdown on her bike and in her walking shoes. Now her mesmerising installations – simultaneously generously accessible and complexly layered – are open to the public once again.
