‘Nocturne Swedish Ecstasy + Michel François’

Save the date!

Every last Thursday of the month, we will open our doors a little bit longer.  

2 exhibitions in 1 night 
You can visit Swedish Ecstasy and the exhibition Michel François. Contre nature. Meanwhile, enjoy a drink in the Horta Hall during Otis' DJ set.  

And there’s more… 
On two occasions, you can join poet Dominique De Groen for her occult poetry performance in the exhibition halls. She will take you on a ritual journey, consisting of incantations and guided collective meditation. Those who prefer to wander to higher realms on their own can follow the audio trip. Finally, our former exhibition warden Philippe Bertels takes you in tow with interesting insides in Michel François. Finally, you can go and watch a performance by Francesca Grilli in the Bertouille Rotunda. Sparks creates a space where the usual power relationships between the child and the adult are inverted. Also, the film RAYS inspired by the performance Sparks, will be projected in the Horta hall. It’s a mono channel HD video shot in Bruxelles in 2021, about the acquired knowledge of a group of children on the practice of clairvoyance as a possibility of reading reality.
