8-12 JUNE, 2016 - SABLON, BRUSSELS - WWW.CULTURES.BRUSSELS For several years now, our three organisations, AAB, BAAF and BRUNEAF, have instituted a dynamic synergy in relation to the June events in Brussels to ensure their wide international recognition.

Wednesday 8 June till Sunday 12 June 2016 - Sablon With our successful record in this area, and with a view to the many advantages this may generate in the future, all three associations have decided to join forces Wednesday 18 June 13 pm – 9 pm Thursday 19 June 11 am – 7 pm and organise a single event in June, creating this way links between collectors, Friday 10 June 11 am – 8 pm building bridges between civilizations and cultures. Saturday 11 June 11 am – 7 pm Sunday 12 June 11 am – 5 pm It is in that spirit that we are very pleased to present CULTURES – The World Arts Fair.

CULTURES – The World Arts Fair will soon become a global reference for seasoned collectors as well as amateurs interested in Asian, ancient and non-European art. A simple and ingenious colour code will be used to identify exhibitors and their respective specialities.

Our enthusiasm is as great as ever and more than ever we will endeavour to turn Brussels into THE venue for the classical arts.

Enjoy your visit!

4 5 L ES BOIS QUI MURMURENT Whispering Woods...

Serge Schoffel – ART PREMIER gallery was appointed this year as curator of the June BRUNEAF 2016 exhibition on the great Lobi THE GREAT LOBI STATUARY statuary. L A GRANDE STATUAIRE L OBI

The exhibition will take place at the Ancienne Nonciature at the Grand Sablon throughout the event duration. It gathers some of the most powerful artworks from the François and Marie Christiaens Collection, one of the most important collection of Lobi art in the world.

These great wooden statues “which whisper undefined words” - as the Lobi refer to them - have sometimes unfairly been regarded as a minor genre among the arts of Africa.

The exhibition Whispering Wood – Great Lobi Statuary intends to render this art the status it deserves among its peers, and to magnify the master craftsmanship of the Lobi sculptors. EXHIBITION BRUNEAF XXVI

The catalogue which will be published for the - JUNE  occasion proposes a scientific and typological comment on these artworks, illustrated with many photographs.

Bruneaf16.indd 1 29/04/16 14:56 21--29 JANUARY 2017 BRUSSELS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING FAIRS IN THE WORLD “MEHEN, STUDIECENTRUM VOOR HET OUDE EGYPTE”

Wie of wat is ‘’Mehen’’? Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte, opgericht door Bep Koek-Overvest en Jan Koek, is een zelfstandige stichting die geen winstoogmerk heeft. Het studiecentrum ontplooit allerlei activiteiten die er met name op gericht zijn om de kennis over het faraonische Egypte te versprei- den aan iedereen die hier belangstelling voor heeft. Uit de opbrengsten van deze activiteiten ondersteunt Mehen de studie over het oude Egypte, o.a. met de Mehen- scriptieprijs voor Egyptologie. Als u deze doelstelling wilt ondersteunen, wordt dan donateur van Mehen voor mini- maal € 25,– per jaar. Echtparen betalen € 35,– per jaar. Donateurs krijgen korting op de meeste activiteiten van Mehen en hebben gratis toegang tot de jaarlijkse Mehen- dag. Het bankrekeningnummer is 67.19.36.387 t.n.v. B.J. Koek-Overvest e/o J.G. Koek te Elst (U).

De activiteiten bestaan uit lezingen, cursussen, studiedagen en reizen. Sinds 1991 hebben Bep en Jan Koek succesvolle (thema)reizen georganiseerd naar Egypte en naar vele egyp- tologische collecties in musea in Europa en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Ook verzorgt Mehen al ruim twintig jaar lezingen over het oude Egypte met onderwerpen op allerlei gebied, met als specialisme de religie van de oude Egyptenaren. Wilt u een lezing op maat of een reis naar eigen wens, ook voor kleine groepen, laten organiseren? Neemt u dan eens contact op met ‘’Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte’’.

Wat betekent ‘’Mehen’’? De naam Mehen betekent ‘’De Gekronkelde’’ en is een reusachtige slang. Al vanaf de predynastieke tijd is het Mehenspel bekend (zie foto). Het was niet alleen een spel, maar het Mehenspel was in het Oude Rijk ook een hulp- middel om herboren te worden. Vanaf het 7e uur in het zogenoemde onderwereldboek ‘’het Amdoeat’’ (vanaf het Nieuwe Rijk) kronkelt Mehen om de kajuit van de zonne- bark van Ra (zie het logo). Mehen beschermt de zonnegod tegen allerlei gevaren op zijn tocht door het hiernamaals, het werkgebied van Mehen. Hopelijk strekt Mehen zijn 12 bescherming ook uit over het studiecentrum en allen die 168 deelnemen aan de (studie)reis door het oude Egypte.
