Wiels

This WE a new centre for contemporary art opened in Brussels. It's called Wiels and it's housed in the former brewery of Wielemans Ceuppens, a beautiful modernist building from 1930 by architect Adrien Blomme. I went to have a look.

I saw some beautiful tiles, that would go well in my new bathroom:

There were several contemporary art exhibitions. I particularly liked the piece by Saâdane Afif called 'Le Bar des Héros' which had a sound installation with pieces of music which played in a bar in Marseille in 1999, and flashing lights like in a club, and this poem:

It reminded me of Marseille, a city I love.
