Bozar

Back to school, back to art 🎒 As pupils return to class last and this week, Bozar is ready to welcome them for inspiring encounters with art — guided by people like Pascale Van den Storme, who has been leading school groups since 2005: “I love guiding in dialogue, which is why I’m especially looking forward to the John Baldessari exhibition. His playful, thought-provoking art is perfect to spark curiosity and conversation with pupils.” For Pascale, every tour is unique. Often it’s the pupil who least wanted to join who ends up asking the most surprising questions.  That’s the transformative power of art and of a guide who knows how to connect with young audiences. Teachers, make art part of your school year! Book a guided visit to Baldessari or explore our full programme for primary and secondary education: 👉 bozar.be/education

The private archive of Henry and Louise Le Bœuf made public 😍 This archive contains the extensive correspondence between Henry Le Bœuf and his wife Louise Thys, as well as letters from artists and from his friend Queen Elisabeth. There are also autograph writings on music, some published and others unpublished, various iconographic documents and a rare album created to mark an event in honour of Henry Le Bœuf on 2 May 1926. Read all about the archive acquired by the Koning Boudewijnstichting (Marie-Jeanne Dauchy Fund), on the joint initiative of Bozar and KBR. 👉 https://lnkd.in/etrP5gmR

A new summer tradition begins. Zoe Gray, Director of Exhibitions at Bozar, introduces Bozar Monumental, our new annual summer commission that reclaims the Horta Hall as a stage for sculpture. The inaugural edition is entrusted to German artist Michael Beutler, known for his large-scale, playful installations made from simple, sustainable materials like cardboard, wood and paper. His collaborative, ever-evolving approach invites visitors to experience the space in a new and dynamic way. On view all summer at Bozar. Bozar Monumental is part of a series of artistic projects made possible with the support of BNP Paribas Fortis. We thank them warmly for their continued commitment to contemporary creation. #Bozarbrussels #MeaningfulPartnerships

Article publié par LesInrocks.com sur Berlinde De Bruyckere Bozar: "Pour celles et ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore l'oeuvre saisissante de Berlinde De Bruyckere, l'exposition que lui consacre Bozar, à Bruxelles, est une occasion à ne pas manquer. Dans le décor solennel du bâtiment Art déco conçu par Victor Horta, une dizaine de salles retrace plus de 25 ans de création d'une artiste majeure de la scène contemporaine belge. Le style de Berlinde De Bruyckere ? Inimitable. Elle façonne de vastes volumes qui s'inspirent des strates de l'histoire de l'art et figurent le plus souvent des animaux non-binaires : humains, chevaux ou fragments de ceux-ci." Merci Alain Berland pour ce beau texte. Photo : Mirjam Devriendt Expo ouverte de 11-19h jusqu'au 31 août.

As the PKPP Polish Presidency of the EU Council has come to an end, we take a moment to reflect on the powerful cultural momentum it brought to Bozar. From the thought-provoking exhibition Familiar Strangers to the captivating presence of Nobel Prize laureate Olga Tokarczuk, Polish culture was in the spotlight these past months, offering new perspectives and meaningful encounters. Thank you to our partners, especially the Instytut Adama Mickiewicza and the incredible Olga Wysocka (she/her), Olga Brzezińska, Weronika Elertowska, Weronika Wojda, Ewa Gubiec, Julia Girulska, Justyna Laskowska and Joanna Andruszko, for their unwavering support and collaboration. Our thanks go out also to the Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego, and mainly the Minister Hanna Wróblewska and the Deputy Minister Marta Cienkowska for their support. We now look forward to continuing this European cultural dialogue with the start of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU 2025. #PolishPresidency #BozarBrussels #CulturalDiplomacy #EuropeanCulture

The economic model of Bozar implies the realisation of incomes of half of the annual budget, amongst others through renting our beautiful venues.
