It sounds like an idealistic dr e a m , but I am striving to realize this dream. Confronting a public surrounded by art every day. Art has a po s i t i v e influence on people and their personal development: it broadens their horizons and renders them more tolerant towards differences in society.'' Ar n e Q u i n ze was born in 1971 in Belgium and lives and works in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium and Shanghai, China. In the eighties he began working as a graffiti artist but he never finished an official art education. Q ui n ze creates large and small sculptures, drawings, paintings, and large-scale installations. Smaller works, sketches, and drawings are the basis and research for his large installations. Recurring fundamentals in his œuvre are the use of multiple types of wood, including salvaged wood, metal and bronze, coloured glass, electrical colours in fluorescent paint, and themes referring to social interaction, communication and urbanism. Since a while he’s doing research towards large-scale steel installations. > Focus : La zone du canal à Bruxelles, nouvel eldorado artistique ? With the participation of : X Y Kanal Centre Pompidou Jean-Paul Pütz CEO of Nelson Canal, owner of the MIMA site (Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art) Kris Verhellen CEO of Extensa, owner of the Tour & Taxis site Rudi Vervoort Minister-President of the Brussels Region > An animation The collective of urban artists Propaganza is well know in Belgium, and in Brussels in particular, for its numerous interventions in the public space and specifically in several railway stations. Three artists from the collective will produce an original work during the gala evening. > An exhibition The ceramic sculptures of the French artist Danielle Lescot and the photographs of the Belgian artist Sophie Voituron will be presented in the lounge area of the evening. > A raffle for the Belenos Student Project T h e B e l e n o s Gala will also be an opportunity to support, through the B e l e n o s Student Project, an art project initiated by art students. The organizers of the B el e n o s Prize and Gala have entrusted a group of art students from various art schools in Brussels to design an ephemeral artistic installation to be realized in t h e M o n u m e n t o Park, dedicated specifically to in situ and land art, located in Anderlecht- B r u s s el s . During the year 2019, these students imagined a global artistic installation project for the park. The aim is to realize their installation in spring 2020 to make it the opening exhibition of the M o n u m e n t o Park season. To this end, the organizers of the Gala B el e n o s have decided to organize, during the evening, a beautiful raffle richly endowed to reap the necessary funds to allow the realization of this unique project. > Organizers Philippe Marchal > 0476 77 53 60 Emma C.
