One question that comes often in your emails is “if you only have to chose 5 exhibitions to see this month in Brussels or in London, which one would it be?”. I have tendency to forget that not everyone has the time or the opportunity to see plenty of exhibitions every week. That is why…

Brussels is often depicted as monotonous, but even though it’s not the most exciting European city (depending on what you are looking for obviously) we can at least all agree on the fact that the buzzing local art scene is everything but boring. In my opinion Brussels is a creative hub with all that that implies,…

As you may noticed I spent the holidays in Belgium, it was a lot of fun but definitely not the best time for an arty trip as most of the galleries were closed. This little inconvenience gave me the opportunity to discover alternative art spaces, but also to go back to the museum. Except at…

I’m a blogger who loves bloggers. Especially the ones who brings their personal touch to the blogosphere, and share with their readers more than a umpteenth picture of their breakfast. I virtually met Victoria few months ago through Instagram. I was working at Art Brussels, and as the good instagrammer addict (junkie?) than I’m, I was…

I like nothing more than art, alternative businesses and entrepreneurship. So when I met Judith Mierop last week, and heard all about her pet project “Interstices By Quadri“, I was thrilled to notice that here in Brussels beside the classic well known art scene, there is plenty of young creatives developing brilliant ideas and other ways to…

Even though the contemporary art scene in Brussels seems to take a long summer nap, letting the festivals and other outdoorsy activities taking over, we can still find from time to time few new openings or art/culture events that will artsy up the end of July. Of course there is still a lot of ongoing…

If you never experienced Belgian summer, here is a quick summary : It can be either dying hot or rainy grey. On a stormy Sunday like today, I just like telling myself (almost like a mantra) that blue sky and sunny afternoon are overrated after all. If you are like me looking for a dose…

After being a month away in artsy London, I’m back in Brussels with my so called “Art Guide”. I’m actually quite excited to see what’s going on in the Belgian contemporary art scene, especially after being blown away by the quality of the exhibitions I’ve seen in London.
