Event Data & Time

Advertising, film, magazines, the internet: we are constantly surrounded by images of sexualized bodies that display the intimate and the erogenous. Flesh, fluids, skin, breasts and asses belong to our everyday surroundings. It has become impossible to switch off the desires of our bodies: pleasure has become a must. The Blue Piece is a museum version of Mette Ingvartsen’s to come (2005), performed by two dancers at KANAL – Centre Pompidou. • The Danish dancer and choreographer Mette Ingvartsen graduated from PARTS in 2004, and was an artist-in-residence at Kaaitheater from 2013 until 2016. To come, created at the beginning of her career, existed in an extended version for 15 dancers on the big stage, and is now being resumed in a small ensemble. Ingvartsen lives and works in Brussels.

Brussels is not wanting for modern and contemporary art, nor architecture. On the contrary, the capital is home to many institutions dedicated to the most diverse artistic disciplines. The only thing missing was a museum of modern and contemporary art and an architecture museum. Hence the KANAL Centre Pompidou project, located in the 35,000m² of the former Citroën garage, on place de l'Yser. Before the renovation works begin, they are scheduled to end in 2022/2023, the Kanal Foundation has decided to launch a pilot year on May 5, 2018. For 13 months, in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, the public will be able to discover this mythical building through several exhibitions, large installations, ten new creations by Brussels artists and a programme of live shows.
