CLOSED | Anouk Kruithof showed that dance is a universal language in different (sub)cultures. You walked through a rousing video installation featuring some 1,000 dance styles from around the world. A four-hour film.
CLOSED - Magritte, Bacon, Ensor, Moore, Jordaens, Rubens … These were just some of the world-famous names on display at the MAS. 'Rare and indispensable' brought a unique selection of masterpieces from the Flemish masterpiece list.
The MAS is a striking red building on the waterfront. What is the origin of this contemporary warehouse? What techniques did its architects use, and why? Ask all your questions during the MAS architectural tour.
CLOSED - Great art needs no explanation to touch people. Some works of art leave observers bewildered; others allow them to 'see' from a different perspective. The exhibition 'Encounters' was about a universal experience of art. Dancers in the exhibition were guides of sensibility for the observer; they reinforced the total experience.
The exhibition draws you into the rich world of Martial arts. Step into the ring and experience what kickboxing, karate, capoeira, kung fu, and Nguni stick fighting have in common. Their beauty, their philosophy, as well as the traditions and stories behind the spectacle. Ready to take on some tough prejudices?
