Moomin - Tove Jansson’s dreamed world
| |
|
| Popularised around the world through comic strips, the Moomin series is above all a rich and sensitive body of comic strip work, created by Tove Jansson (1914-2001), an essential Finnish illustrator and author. Initially published as comic strips by the London Evening Standard (1954-1959), the Moomin stories then appeared as novels. The exhibition produced by the Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art allows visitors to discover the world of a major twentieth-century lady author, with a rich and extravagant personality, served by a refined drawing style which continues to charm her readers in more than forty countries.
With support from the Finnish Cultural Institute, Finncult, the Tove Jansson Museum and Moominvalley. |

Ars Musica
| |
|
| For its twentythird edition, the Ars Musica Festival is setting the tone and colours for the European season. The programme of
this special festival features concerts (indoor, outdoor), meetings, film projections, rehearsals open to the public. A total of
around thirty events will make up this musical festival, which, in 2010, will give free rein to the groups, quartets, duets, trios and
solos to create sounds that are as strange as they are pleasant. Mathematics in music, focusing on the composer Xénakis, is
the theme chosen for this edition. |

Eurantica
| |
|
| From archaeology to the modern arts, more than 130 antique dealers from Europe gather together their finest pieces for this large-scale fair. Enthusiasts and collectors of rare objects love to wander nonchalantly from stand to stand, refreshing themselves from time to time with a well-earned glass of Champagne. |

Paris - Brussels
| |
|
| This Paris-Brussels exhibition lifts the curtain on the often unsuspected wealth of Franco-Belgian exchanges. It starts at the time when Belgium was French and when Belgian architects, trained in Paris, won the big prize of Rome. Down the years, we come across Viollet-le-Duc at the Porte de Hal, then the Parisian Guimard, the architect of the Paris metro stations, who found his style by visiting the Horta houses : we see Henry van de Velde unveiling the first plans for the famous theatre of the Champs-Elysées, Antoine Courtens become a master of Art Deco after rubbing shoulders with the Parisian creators and Henry Lacoste build an artistic bridge between the school of fine arts of Paris and the Brussels academy. Hundreds of original documents illustrate two centuries of these burgeoning architectural relations between the two capitals. |

The Symbolism
| |
|
| This big exhibition recounts the development of symbolism, the origins of which date back to romantic painting of the late 19th century.
According to theme, it follows the stages of its development in the most varied registers – the portrait, the landscape, history
on the edge of reality and dream, doubt, the fleeting moment, religion, etc. The close connection between poetry and the visual arts
and the predilection for the universal artwork – Gesamtkunstwerk – predominates in the concept of the exhibition. It revolves around
famous artists such as Fernand Khnopff, Félicien Rops and Jean Delville as well as other less well-known ones who have made a
great contribution to this “fin de siècle” spirit, of which Brussels was one of the capitals. |

El Greco
| |
|
| This exhibition illustrates the history and extraordinary European career of El Greco, from Crete to Toledo - Spain (a country with so many influences and civilizations) via Italy and its artistic revolutions and how all these experiences deeply transformed his painting and gave birth to one of the most important characters of Western Art. |

Felix Gonzalez-Torres
| |
|
| Revitalising minimal and conceptual art by incorporating concepts such as temporality, emotion and vulnerability into it, Felix
Gonzalez-Torres has been the subject of important retrospectives both during his lifetime and after his premature death from
the AIDS virus. The artist is particularly well known for his minimal installations and sculptures based on unusual materials
such as stacks of posters or sweets in wrappings. Many of his works invite the visitors to take part by taking an element away
with them. To present the artist’s works, Wiels has chosen a chronological and thematic overview, from his drawings to in-situ
portraits and interventions in public spaces. |

I Medici: A renaissance in paper by Isabelle de Borchgrave
| |
|
| For some 15 years Isabelle's paper exhibitions have travelled the world. Everywhere, from New York to Tokyo passing through Venice and Istambul, the magic produces its effect...causing wonderment at the transformation of a simple sheet of white paper. It is a meeting through the centuries with one of the most prestigious families in Italian history: the Medici. Through the magic of trompe l'oeil, Isabelle walks us through history and aesthetics. 29 paper costumes showing the elegance of the times in minute detail, and giving new life to the painting of the great masters such as Botticelli, Bronzino or Gozzoli.

Whales and dolphins
| |
|
| Are you fascinated by whales, dolphins and other marine mammals?
Then, don’t miss the “Whales and dolphins” exhibition; it sweeps you down to the sea bed and tells you about the diversity of
the species, their origin and their evolution, their way of life and, finally, the sometimes ambiguous relationships that man has
with these animals. A fascinating exhibition to discover in the wonderful Museum of Natural Sciences. |

It's our Earth 2 - From Kyoto to Copenhagen.
| |
|
| Following the resounding success of the “It’s our Earth” exhibition, the Tempora team is back in force with “It is our Earth 2”, a new
exhibition which comes on top of the permanent platform of the first one. Visitors will be able to look (again) at what the previous
exhibition showed as being necessary for a clear understanding of the phenomenon of global warming and of the disappearance of
certain species: the story of the planet and the way in which human beings consume its resources. In the second, brand new part of the
exhibition, they will, first of all, be made aware of the fragility of biodiversity on Earth before looking at the subject of global warming.
This will be explained to them in detail as will the political issues that it raises. They can then find out about the stakes of the Copenhagen
conference, the positions of the leading nations and of the lobby groups and the action visitors can take in their own lives. |
