DUGA PUTS ON A SHOW

Art brut in the spotlight

FREE ENTRY

An artist of emotion and free expression, DUGA paints and sculpts viscerally, in a state of regression, on the bangs of contemporary artistic trends. He gives free rein to his emotions through a variety of techniques, with drawing, painting and sculpture remaining his preferred mediums. Basquiat, Combas and the Figuration Libre movement, Aléchinsky, Appel and the Cobra group, Picasso, Schiele and Expressionism, Dubuffet and Art Brut, Street Art… have all influenced his work. The writings and graffiti of Street Art interest him for the fluidity and speed of their gestures, and the explosion of color. For DUGA, anything is possible. And he’ll be demonstrating just how.

PERFORMANCE

27/9/24 - 18h

WHEN AN ARTIST WEAVES HIS WEB

A live performance by

TONI GARAU

FREE ENTRY

The threads and bobbins used by Mallorcan artist Toni Garau in his works are intentionally sourced from the old factories in his native village of Sóller. His complex installations pay homage to the work carried out by women workers in the region’s textile industry during a bygone era. The women’s revolution in Sóller’s textile industry at the end of the 19th century is a key element for Toni Garau and her work. It is the main source of inspiration for her creative process. A process you can admire live.

DEMONSTRATION

28/9/24 - 14h

STONE IN
ALL ITS GLORY

An exercise in hammer-and-chisel style from

JOSÉ SAHAGUN

FREE ENTRY

Sculptor, sculpture teacher and explorer of materials and forms, José Sahagun loves nothing more than handling the tools that shape clay, glass, metal and stone, among other favorite materials. He also likes to give new life to old industrial materials that are outdated or out of use, and will show us how a rough-hewn, inert stone can take shape and become a work of art. Beware of splinters.

BIRTH OF A FREEHAND WORK

A live performance by

DUGA

FREE ENTRY

An artist of emotion and free expression, DUGA paints and sculpts viscerally, in a state of regression, on the bangs of contemporary artistic trends. He gives free rein to his emotions through a variety of techniques, with drawing, painting and sculpture remaining his preferred mediums. Basquiat, Combas and the Figuration Libre movement, Aléchinsky, Appel and the Cobra group, Picasso, Schiele and Expressionism, Dubuffet and Art Brut, Street Art… have all influenced his work. He is interested in the deformations of characters, while retaining a certain anatomical fidelity and gesturality. The writings and graffiti of Street Art interest him through the fluidity and rapidity of gesture and the explosion of color. For DUGA, anything is possible. He’ll be demonstrating this freehand.

LET'S TASTE THE WINE

Tasting of the winemaker’s Brussels wines

GUDULE URBAN WINERY

FREE ENTRY

“Walking the roads of France and Navarre, I put on my boots to smell the soil, sharpen my senses and feed my passion for wine. Then, one day, I decided to make it my profession. However, not owning any vines and living in Brussels, the challenge was great. There was only one solution for me: to bring in the grapes, in bunches. And that’s where I work, surrounded by my family and friends. My name is Thierry Lejeune and I used to be a printer.”

Gudule – named after the patron saint of Brussels – aims to produce exclusively organic wines for the most local and direct distribution possible. The winery isn’t in the middle of the vineyards, but it’s in the heart of the city that it’s most accessible. Including for visitors to its new neighbor, the K art signatures gallery.

With his witty impertinence and improvised teaching style, he takes us on a journey through history and vineyards from Greece to Lebanon, Chile to Argentina and Europe.

Ephemeral: eternal rebirth

The latest book by

CARINE DOUTRELEPONT

FREE ENTRY

“It kept pouring out lava and flooding the sky with shades of pink, red and orange. Its vibrations and cracks brought it to life. Its explosions punctuated the breathing of its gaping throat. The world became incandescent. Maybe that’s what gives me a taste for volcanoes.” So says photographer Carine Doutrelepont of her images, inviting us on a spectacular visual and spiritual journey. From Hawaii to Uttar Pradesh, via Iceland, we discover unusual volcanic landscapes met by the vibrant colors of the Indian festivals of Holi and Diwali, which celebrate life. By transporting us from one universe to another, the author underlines the profound links between Man and Nature, between the sacred and the earthly. This book is a hymn to the Earth, to its indomitable, sometimes destructive beauty, and to its capacity for constant regeneration…
