trippin' on art ~ danser brut @ BOZAR

  • 24 SEPTEMBER ’20 — 10 JANUARY ’21

  • from carousels to dance epidemics, from trance to hysteria, from the mental institution to the stage: "danser brut" examines movement in all its forms. the exhibition is not about the iconography nor the history of dance, but is situated somewhere in-between. in an idiosyncratic mix of outsider art, contemporary art, silent film, documents and hospital archives, the connections between dance and random or repetitive movement are revealed

  • "danser brut" investigates the various forms of expression of the body, the face and the hands as a translation of how we see the world. what does all that unbridled movement say about us? how have syndromes like hysteria and Tourette's turned the world of art, film and dance upside down? "dancing' can also consist of small, everyday gestures, unremarkable movements that tell meaningful stories. even drawing can become a way of dancing when the pencil takes the place of the body

  • "danser brut" presents dance as a verb, in the infinitive. not a perfect choreography to be executed precisely, but an appeal to dance entirely your own way

  • arty-farty.fun's opinion: ***
    an intriguing mix of Art Brut, modern and contemporary art, medical archive documents, film excerpts, etc., the exhibition defies categorisation. it does not want to tell a history of dance, but aims to broaden our view and put modernity in a different light. just go

  • arty-farty.fun's opinion: ****
    this lavish Belle Epoque brasserie will, first and foremost, delight the eye! impossible to resist the mouth-watering recipes rustled up by chef Dirk Myny the maître cuisiner. he is a genuine Brusselian, whose exuberant personality gives character to his traditional, market fresh dishes.
