Hello everybody, Half September I started working in the Brussels Fine Art Museum, a place known in Brussels als BOZAR. It's an incredible complex build by the art nouveau architect Victor Horta and famous for its exhibitions, theatre rooms and concert hall (probably one of the best for classical music). Now this is a second job I sometimes do in the evenings when there are activities like concerts, movies, theatre plays, exhibitions and so on. This is pure a logistics job but I try to collaborate also on an artistic level and I'm glad to tell you this is working rather well
On January 21 there will be a Mozart event day, a collaboration between Bozar and Klara, which is the radio chain for classical music in the Flemish part of Belgium. One of the activities is "Mozart's cabinet". 10 years ago I did a Mozart mail art project and I proposed to show the contributions as part of the cabinet. They accepted with joy, so there will be mail art in Bozar next Saturday. Last year there was a magnificent exhibition in Bozar called "Visionary Belgium". In this exhibition Johan Van Geluwe had a full room with his works. Johan is one of the mail art pioneers in Belgium. So I'm glad I can continue the "chain". A second project in which I'll participate is a photo project to document daily life in Saint Joss Brussels. This is the poorest town in Brussels and I live on the border between Saint Joss and Schaerbeek. The idea is to distribute cameras, so people could document life in their own neighborhood and then organize a big photo exhibit with the results. I love the whole concept, am accepted as participant and will have a meeting on this project tomorrow afternoon. This is not exactly mail art but very interesting (i think) and close to what I try to achieve with the Friour zine collaborations as well. That's all for now!
