Have you seen the movie "The Cube"? This is how I felt like when I entered the Archiraar gallery.
The owner is an architect. The dazzlingly white walls seem to be closing in on you. And the bright neons enhance the feeling of unrest.
I recently went to the preview of "Constellations" by Vincent Chenut (by the way, previews are the best occasions to meet interesting-looking people). "Constellations" consists of maps who have been scraped with a scalpel and only few trails of the original maps are visible.
Brussels is packed with art galleries, but also with people who can afford them. A lot of contemporary art, but also African and 19th century stuff.
Forget about New York and Paris, Brussels is the new capital of art.
Address: Rue de la Tulipe 31A
