Grand Weekend

Ambitious and grand.. that’s the least we can say about the initial idea we launched last January. The Belgian Artlabs regularly get together for meetings, but .. at that time we launched the idea of organizing an event that would show us from a bigger perspective. BRXLBRAVO seemed like the right context to show our collaborative spirit. Several months later, during the BRXLBRAVO-weekend, a cross-over of contemporary work from all disciplines were presented. Mission Accomplished.

9 labs joined forces with the 6 resident organizations in the Rue de la Senne 17, in the bid to infect it with more experimental art. Pictures from this amazing event can be found here.

Frustrations?

Plenty of people gathered today to sign a master plan for the future of culture in Brussels.
The Brussels Kunstenoverleg (BKO) and the Réseau des Arts à Bruxelles (RAB) are coordinating this ambitious initiative.
These two cultural networks bring together more than 90 cultural institutions in the Brussels region of Belgium: theatres, companies, art labs, festivals, etcetera; small organizations as well as big institutes.

Since our complex Belgian federal system makes life extremely complicated for cultural initiatives in Brussels, it was about time that all our harsh frustrations and the ideas that rose from this complexity were formulated in a positive, ambitious and grand way.

And here we have it. 2 Years of hard work. Hardly an object to be tucked away in the bookshelf, but a publication to be seen as a writing pad. Yes, a place to scribble away and transform 2 years of ‘talktalk’ into ‘the real thing’! Join forces and attack!

Something is cooking

Something is cooking in the arts laboratories. Several lab’s are joining forces and team up with the Z17 residents to offer you a superb event during the BRXLBRAVO weekend.

In Zennestraat 17 Rue de la Senne, a former labo of the Ministery of Economic Affairs, a temporary artistic hub was opened in May this year. During BRXLBRAVO, a cross-over of contemporary work from all disciplines will be presented, in the bid to infect the building with even more experimental art.

The platform arts-lab.be will use the occasion to display an artistic cartography.

List participating organizations:

Bains Connective, Constant, Croxhapox, De Pianofabriek Werkplaats, FLACC, Galerie Fortlaan17, Het Entrepot, Josworld, Komplot, L’L, Lokaal01, Margarita Production, nadine, Q-O2, SECONDroom, SoundImageCulture, WP Zimmer

The ARTLAB² – BrxlBravo@Zennestraat 17 program will be announced shorty.
