Arne Quinze

Arne Quinze is a contemporary Belgian sculptor. Initially a graffiti artist in the eighties, he is now famous for several urban interventions.

In Brussels, you can admire two of his masterpieces. One in the fancy Kwint restaurant and one nearby the Flemish parliament, in the tranquil Louvain street.

Quinze employs materials which are rarely used together: iron and wood. Most of his sculptures feature a red-orange colour. A feast for the eyes...

Cinéma Styx

According to Greek mythology, Styx was the river which separated the world of the living from the underworld.

Cinéma Styx is situated close to Place Fernand Coq in Ixelles. It consists of two small rooms. The best thing about it is that there are no commercials before the movies.

The choice of movies is tasteful. Tickets cost only 5€. They are not always the newest movies, but if you missed one in the big cinemas, you are very likely to still find it in the Styx.

The latest movie I saw there was a documentary, Searching for Sugar Man. I warmly recommend it to all romantics and dreamers. Here is the complete soundtrack, enjoy!

P.S. The address is written on the pink ticket;-)
