From February 3rd, 2023, the Atomium invites the Visual System artist collective to occupy its exhibition spaces and dedicates its program to digital art.

With these projects, the magic of the Atomium is brought to life and the heritage richness of the building accentuated. The artists give life to a total work that immerses the visitor in the heart of a synesthetic trail, as spectacular as it is hypnotic. An invitation to explore, surrender and experience an intense interaction. By creating this intimate moment, Visual System poetizes light, sound and architecture through abstract narrative and pure emotion.

JAP – Jeunesse et Arts Plastiques / Centre d’art contemporain d’Ivry -le Crédac*

“A length without a width”
Eric Baudart’s approach is similar to that of the “flâneur” artist as defined by Baudelaire in The Painter of Modern Life (1863): “[artist] of circumstance and of all that it suggests of eternity”. Baudart pays particular attention to the objects and detritus of post-industrial urban life. With a few simple gestures such as the application of a color, a punctual deformation, or simply the displacement of the object from its environment and its integration into the artistic space, the sculptor reveals the aesthetic and poetic potential of these elements.

LE BOTANIQUE*

WHEN WORDS BECOME FORM

For the past five years, the “Art(s) & écriture(s)” transdisciplinary module for students pursuing a Master’s degree at ENSAV La Cambre has examined the wide array of contemporary forms of writing in art. Among the hundred or so students that we have accompanied since 2018 in developing a “language object”, we selected thirty (most of whom have already graduated and now actively participate in the emerging art scene) on the basis of the high standard of their artistic work featuring the text. They hail from various disciplines covered by the curricula: book and paper design, drawing, photography, scenography, textile design, typography, ceramics, urban space, text and literature, painting, engraving and printmaking. The artworks exhibited also reflect the wide spectrum of mediums and practices incorporating writing in visual forms today.
