So, started work on our own little Gidsy project/listing. Polle had launched a call to unlock Gidsy for the city of Gent and after Istanbul it seems Hasselt & Gent will follow next week. Great to see Hasselt pop  up next to Gent, an underestimated town/travel destination if you ask me (but who am I). This reminds me we have to revisit Hasselt urgently, before this year’s STREET ART FESTIVAL (in other news, a 2nd edition has been confirmed!!).

Anyways, back to Gidsy & Gent… seems we are gonna try to offer (working on several others, maybe) a Street Art/Bike Tour of Gent. A quick round up:

Take a tour through Ghent and discover some great spots and work by a wide range of local & international artists. 

Over the past decades Ghent has drawn lots of attention for embracing youth culture. Besides an interesting (electronic) musical scene it also has its own urban art scene. Roa, Bue The Warrior, Resto & A Squid Called Sebastien are just a few of the local artists, besides that you will spot works by a wide range of other local/international artists.

Depending on your available time we will take the back street of Gent and visit several spots  through town by bike (or foot), also uncovering the little stores, coffee bars and/or galleries that might interest you. Our tour will bring you across several parts of town you might not usually visit, giving you another view on the city. 

Although we have never been real fans of “street art tours” (something you should discover on your own, at your own pace) we reckon it might be nice starting point to take people across town and that on bikes.

Never done this before, but reckon its a good way of going through town with visitors and curious to see how everything unfolds the next weeks/months, hope to meet some great people and reckon even we will (re)discover parts of Gent ourselves.

Hit us up if you’re interested in doing some test-runs for the tour as it is still a work in progress that is gonna need a lot of finetuning!!

Every now and then something extraordinary finds its way to me and couple of days ago this nice invite dropped right in my lap courtesy of Sstrid. Looks like we’re going to the Louvre at the end of the month for the opening of Wim Delvoye’s show. The show has been in the making for a while and after months of hearing her talk about how her collegues at Studio Delvoye have been working hard at getting things done it seems they have reached their final weeks of preparations.

As you might sense, we are excited as this might just turn out to become the highlight of the year, we will quote the official press release:

The Louvre invites Wim Delvoye to intervene at various locations within the museum and nearby: under the Pyramid, in the Napoleon III apartments, in the Gothic galleries of the Department of Decorative Arts, and in the Tuileries gardens. Wim Delvoye is the second artist, after Tony Cragg in 2011, to create a new, monumental sculpture to be installed at the central column supporting the Pyramid’s entry platform or belvedere: a huge Gothic corkscrew-shaped tower made of stainless steel, titled Suppo. Another imposing Corten steel sculpture will take up residence in the Tuileries in July and remain at this venue through the autumn, when it will be joined by other works featured in FIAC’s outdoor sculpture exhibition.


Within the museum’s walls, some fifteen recent works in stained glass, porcelain, and bronze, revealing the artist’s current fascination with nineteenth-century sculpture and his experimentation with computerized reproduction techniques, are juxtaposed with objects from the collections of the Department of Decorative Arts.

Delvoye’s sculptures rest on furniture, are installed in display cases, and some even line the ceremonial staircase leading to the former private apartments of the Minister of State. A large stained-glass window presented in the Lefuel staircase enters into dialogue with those installed in 2009 by François Morellet, while a Gothic chapel resonates with the tapestries and liturgical objects exhibited in the Anne de Bretagne room. From the down-to-earth redeployment of Gothic motifs to contorted and twisted crucifixes, Delvoye’s popular and decorative art, which has its roots in subversive and ironic reinterpretations of past styles, finds a particularly trenchant echo in the Louvre’s collections.

Born in 1965, the Belgian artist Wim Delvoye works in varied mediums and is perhaps best known for his “Cloaca” series which, with a seriousness reminiscent of scientists’ laboratory experiments, sheds light on the digestive process. In 2009, Delvoye was invited to create a monumental work for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection during the 53rd Venice Biennale and solo shows were held in 2010 at the Musée Rodin in Paris and in 2011 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. With each of these exhibitions, he has erected an ever taller tower, a series that reaches its pinnacle to date with the spectacular Suppo at the Louvre, a full 11 meters high.

Show runs May 31 – September 17 and off course we’ll be posting a report after our visit. Better start looking for that dinner jacket and polish my shoes…

  • Agents of Change – The Megaro Project on Vimeo
    This film details the creation of a monumental 450m2 mural opposite St. Pancras International in Kings Cross, London. The mural, which has been painted by four members of Agents of Change – Remi/Rough, Steve More, LX.One and Augustine Kofie – encompasses two sides of a five storey Georgian building.

    The mural took over two weeks to complete working from an initial design – which was bounced between Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Paris and London – and was commissioned by the hotel’s owner and The Narrative.

    From a design perspective the artists collaborated to create a single work that would utilise their different styles and perspectives to create a modern mural that integrates with the surrounding area, and emphasises Kings Cross’ status as a major gateway for international and national visitors alike.

    The past month has been a long month, a busy month, an interesting month. Took a little blog sabbatical in a sense without ever having planned to do so but that’s the way the cookie crumbled.

    Time for a quick instagram round-up:

    Visited Huis van Alijn for the opening of : “UIT HET FOTOALBUM. AFL.5. HUN SCHOONSTE DAG“

    Encountered strange characters.

    Finally found some quality time to spend in my city: Ghent.

    Drew some things, and then a couple of more on #DrawSome.

    Finally unpacked everything and settled in…

    and someone decided to finally move in :D

    Received the shock of my life after having heard my dad survived a bad car crash while travelling in Turkey.

    Found myself in Antwerp a couple of times.

    Saw some great collabs.

    Got rained on & rained on, over & over again.

    So, bring on May & hopefully summer.

  • Sierra Leone: 10 years after Civil War – The Big Picture
    After 10 years of civil war, Sierra Leone is at peace. Charles G. Taylor, the former president of Liberia and once a powerful warlord, was convicted April 26 by an international tribunal of 11 counts of planning, aiding and abetting war crimes committed in Sierra Leone during it’s civil war in the 1990s. Taylor was guilty of involvement in crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, rape, slavery and the use of child soldiers. Prosecutors alleged that Taylor, from his base in neighboring Liberia, directed and armed the rebels and because of that, bears direct responsibility for the results of that war. The eleven-year conflict (from 1991-2002) left more than 50,000 dead and was marked by unprovoked and unjustified violence – especially the amputation of limbs. Sierra Leone is peaceful, a decade later, but is among the world’s poorest countries, with a much longer recovery in store.

    Invader has been one of our favorite artists for years now. Ever since one of those first Paris visits he drew our attention. Back then we had no idea yet who or what was responsible for the mosaic pieces, but we knew we liked them. Small interventions throughout the city making Paris beautiful one piece at a time.

    Over the past winter, Invader made a short movie inviting us to spend one night in Paris with him. A great capture of how he gets round to doing what he does best. Have a look as its a great piece.

    Also, for those who find themselves in BXL over the next week(s), Invader still has a show at Brussel’s Alice Gallery then (video repo can be found here) and he recently also visited BXL for one of his largest invasions. Open your eyes while walkig through the city and check the following map as it might help you to spot some tiles :D There’s a great overview on Invaderblog also which might be a help.

    Photographer Taylor Weidman was given special permission by the government of Nepal to travel in the restricted area of Mustang. He writes, “Mustang, or the former Kingdom of Lo, is hidden in the rain shadow of the Himalaya in one of the most remote corners of Nepal. Hemmed in by the world’s highest mountain range to the south and an occupied and shuttered Tibet to the north, this tiny Tibetan kingdom has remained virtually unchanged since the 15th century. Today, Mustang is arguably the best-preserved example of traditional Tibetan life in the world. But it is poised for change. A new highway will connect the region to Kathmandu and China for the first time, ushering in a new age of modernity and altering Mustang’s desert-mountain villages forever.”

    Last week I dug up some old sketch books, pencils & markers. It had been a while, although I never was a heavy user, since I had drawn anything. Felt the need to be able to do something in a little corner at home, away from other distractions. Grab a seat from time to time and plot some things on paper, in the hope it turns out to be something good.

    Basically I’ve started with drawing some simple characters, stuff you can freehand in no time. A couple of lines and nothing fancy. Stuff I’m not willing/ready to share yet. Sketches and drawings that need lots of improvement. Improvement I’m looking to find… but have no idea where to look.

    But for now you can just call me a bit sketchy, and who knows maybe you might spot something somewhere near you.

    Earlier this week London rapper Plan B released a video for his latest single, ‘ill Manors’, part of a wider project of the same name, including a forthcoming film, designed to explore and address the issues surrounding poverty and alienation in Britain, in particular examining the London Summer Riots of 2011.

    It’s an aggressive assault on everything from people’s perception of the working classes (“Oi look there’s a chav, that means council housed and violent”), to the Olympics (“Built an entire Olympic village around where we live without pulling down any flats … Don’t bloody give me that”) to David Cameron’s softly softly approach to dealing with teenagers (“He’s got a hoodie on give him a hug, on second thoughts don’t, you don’t wanna get mugged”).

    Couple of days ago Plan B also caught up with MistaJam to talk about the controversy surrounding the ill Manors project and the inspiration he had for this new track…

    A while back, the hotel Au vieux Panier asked Tilt to design a room, you’ve seen images of the work/installation pop up everywhere across the web and now there’s some moving imagery to accompany it all.

    “I first told them that I wasn’t interested doing just decoration in the room but I wanted to create something that will look more like an installation. I thought about it also as a huge canvas where I needed to think about the composition and play with the empty white part of the room to accentuate more the idea of Chaos on the other part. Then I asked my friend Tober who gat a great old school style for tags, Grizz who is also the man behind the camera and Don Cho who is a Hip Hop singer from Marseille but who used to be a tagger from my home town Toulouse. It took one week to do the whole thing cause the idea was to exaggerate what you can usually see in some abandoned places. Too much tags, too much drips, too much sentences, too much throw ups … What I also wanted to show is that people can appreciate any type of graffiti, even the more basic, it’s just a matter of point of view …” – Tilt

    London is calling for the 22tracks gang, but they still had to get one thing scrapped off the Brussels bucketlist: their own t-shirt!

    With the new 22tracks t-shirt designed by Brussels artist Oli-B they finally got that item done. And it turned out to be a great new design by one of the freshest artists our capital has to offer!

    For those of you who aren’t familiar with the whole 22tracks concept, have a quick read overhere and definitely have a look on 22tracks.net where since last June 22nd 22 great selectors present us the freshest sound for Brussels.

    The shirt is available through T-junk amongst the other 22 tracks gear.

    Ow, and also have a look at UglyMelly who happened to feature Oli’s work this week.

    Monday eve we gathered some like minded bloggers/tweeps in Bar Buro for a cosy pre-listening session of Miike Snow’s Happy to You. Sony Music Belgium (worth the follow on twitter btw) hosted a Twunch, in order for us to get a first eavesdrop of the Happy to You album amongst good company and a little bite/snack.

    As Miike Snow fans ourselves we were more than eager to hear what the result was. We had previously heard some stuff on their Soundcloud, but that just don’t cut it as you really need to listen to all 10 tracks in the order you’re supposed to, which was the case with this Miike Snow piece.

    Reckon most people heard the album’s closing track Paddling Out (check the video below, always instant bliss when I hear it passby on the radio) as its the current single, but the album has a lot more to offer for sure. I suggest you also check what Deborah, Zofie & Lluisa already wrote about it amongst others.

    Their previous album has been part of my car discography ever since it had been released and their new work is yet another great roadtrip soundtrack.

    The cover is graced by a jackalope btw,  a mythical creature, which basically is a rabbit with antlers :D  Thanks for pointing that out @N_A_G_D!
