MURAL
Vernissage mural by Helgi Thorsson

Every six months an artist is invited to do ‘something’ with the white wall in the beurscafé.

FR 02.02.2018 19:00 - 20:00

In the spring of 2018, that artist will be Helgi Thórsson. Born in Iceland in 1975, he now lives in Antwerp. His predecessors in creating works for the wall are Jóhanna Kristbjörg Sigurðardóttur, Fiona Mackay, Julien Meert, Denie Put, Nel Aerts, Atelier Pica Pica, Michaël Van den Abeele and Céline Butaye.

Thórsson’s work is characterized by its raw, seemingly awkward finishing, a varnish of eccentric colours, bizarre humour, cheesy nostalgia and the righteous conviction that art can bring about something important in its viewers. Knowing this means that we can already anticipate the spring of 2018 as a colourful feast for the eye!

Nel Aerts

audio/visual arts, beurscafé
5 FEB — 30 APR 2016
Humour, loneliness, sadness, taboo, escapism, the journey, the boat trip, optimism, the mask/masquerade—all of these are elements that recur in her paintings, collages, sculptures and actions. At the same time her practice and work also bear witness to a stubborn faith in the creative, material and moving powers of contemporary art.

Through their mural on the famous white wall of the Beursschouwburg café, the collective would like to create a window that offers the viewer access to an imaginary field: the Flemish countryside, the Norwegian tundra, Mars, the view from a hunting tower ... Stare out in front of you, dream away and let your imagination run free ...
