A new space dedicated to the documentary image, the BAL is a project to be launched by the association of the Friends of Magnum. Its aim is to lead a cultural and educational action, asking the question of what is at stake in the reproduction of the world though images.

This exhibition assembles around sixty paintings from some of the best private and public collections in Europe (Art museums in Lille, Nantes, Rennes, Oxford, Liège, and more). It offers a unique view of two great artistic movements of the 17th century: Flemish Baroque painting, of which Rubens is the chief protagonist, and the French Classical school led by Poussin and the influence they had on each other. The Jacquemart-André Museum has set out to write a new page in the history of art.

Proximity and evidence make us blind: France is unaware of the inventiveness, the diversity and the current creative agitation of some of our closest neighbours. ABC is an exhibition that does not claim to be a comprehensive portrayal of the diversity of the contemporary scene in Belgium. The disciplines most particularly taught and practiced at Le Fresnoy have formed the criteria of priority for selection purposes: photography, film, video, installation, performance and choreography..

About forty artists will be shown like : Stephan BALLEUX, Orla BARRY, Pierre BISMUTH, Jef CORNELIS, Wim DELVOYE, Jan FABRE, Johan GRIMONPREZ, Anne Veronica JANSSENS, Gwendoline ROBIN, Sophie WHETTNALL…
