Few weeks ago, while browsing around in my favourite East London bookshop, Artwords, I came across The Age of Earthquakes. Despite the not so aesthetic cover, I was attracted by the mention “A Guide to the Extreme Present”. Sometimes I wonder if the generations before us also thought that everything and everyone in our societies…

Last week I (finally) discovered the oh so anticipated new building of the Tate Modern, which opened to the public on June 17. Under the slogan “Art Changes We Change”, the museum managed its transformation very successfully and convinced the skeptics of the need for an extension in order to reach this ideal of an ultimate…

Long time no see. It’s been almost a month since my latest entry, and even though I stayed in touch through my social media, I’m happy to be back here with a brand new post. I could have write about the Brexit, the summer art sales, my failed attempt at discovering the New Tate Modern,…

The only real issue of living in a city bursting with art is that it can be quiet tiring and overwhelming for culture geeks like us (don’t underestimate the struggle). Last week I decided to only go see a couple of exhibitions instead of browsing through what was on in the city. I think that it’s…

There is always this thrilling feeling when you enter an art school, the excitement that you are going to witness something special. Maybe cross the path of the next David Hockney, or meet the creative minds behind our future generation of artists. Of course not everything is good or special, but sometimes in the middle of this…

London is hot at the moment. Hot for culture of course. I spent my week wandering around the city, chasing every bites of art London has to offer while discovering areas I didn’t know that well. Even though the sun is calling for lazy days at the park (I plead guilty), visiting exhibitions and museums while…

Before heading to Brussels, I wanted to share with you five exhibitions that are opening very soon in London and which particularly sparkled my interest. Striding the city from West to East to visit the always growing amount of galleries, museums, pop-up exhibitions can be overwhelming (even for a well-trained Londoner), that is why I’m…

Bruxelles ma belle. For me Brussels is synonym of gentleness, simplicity, and peace. People loves laughing about Belgians, about our supposed accent, our questionable expressions, or our kindness often taken as a weakness. Our lack of pretension and vanity must be disturbing for others who didn’t grow up here. Brussels it’s a spirit, a place where…

It’s been a couple of weeks since I published something on the blog, not by lack of inspiration as you can see on my Facebook and Instagram pages, but simply by lack of time. Life is really busy lately mostly for personal and work reasons, but also because as you might have seen I’m organising…

I had the chance to meet the artist Tess Williams about a week ago in her studio at the Bomb Factory Art Foundation in London. Freshly graduated from a MA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, Tess is exploring through her work the physicality of painting, where painting ends and sculpture starts. When some…

Can you feel the spring coming? The days are getting longer, the sun doesn’t hide behind grey clouds anymore, the gardens are blooming, and new exhibitions are taking place into London’s art galleries and museum. It’s almost impossible to catch up with everything that’s happening in London, but I always try my best to go see…
