Another private visit for Saloon Brussels! Over the past weeks many new members have joined us, and to celebrate we visit the charming Maison des Arts in Schaerbeek, a small and delightful museum off the beaten paths.
On the menu, a visit to the exhibition Who are You ? Guided by the curator, Saloon Member Myriam Louyest, who takes a very personal angle for the selection of the beautiful artwork exhibited – a selection of portraits acquired by the Municipality of Schaerbeek since the end of the XIX century.
Mixing ancient and modern, Who Are You? starts a conversation that crosses time and space.
“Heritage works stand alongside contemporary works borrowed for the occasion or sometimes produced specifically. The Maison des Arts is filled with a considerable number of creations: sculptures, paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, videos, installations … The curator wished to restore this feeling of profusion that greatly impressed her when she discovered the collection in reserves.”
