Exhibition “Gaillard & Claude. A Certain Decade”

27/02/2022 h 18/09/2022 F Rajouter au calendrier 2022-02-27 2022-09-18 Europe/London Exhibition “Gaillard & Claude. A Certain Decade”

The MACS exhibition of the French artist duo Gaillard & Claude brings together most of their work since 2010. Critical and amused observers of the social imagination of our time, Gaillard & Claude cultivate an art of the bizarre intrusion and the poetic incident. Sculpture in plaster, bas-relief in polyurethane, marbled paper, textile printing, Gaillard & Claude develop, through diversified works, the subtle art of double meaning and innuendo, of paradoxical affinities and unheard of intersections.

UNESCO-site

The MACS, located on the former mine site of Grand-Hornu, high place of European industrial heritage, is classified as World Heritage since 2012. Since its opening, the museum has welcomed nearly a million visitors, produced over 75 exhibitions and promoted many artists from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

Thanks to the great international artists who, like Anish Kapoor, Christian Boltanski, Giuseppe Penone and Tony Oursler, have set up their first major exhibition in Belgium, the MACS now enjoys a reputation that goes far beyond our borders.

LPeople with specific needs

Concerned to be everyone’s museum, MACS develops a humanist policy with the help of specialized associations that guide it in its approach. For example, a specific mediation approach has been developed for blind and partially sighted people. It is based on specific material tools such as models, thermoforms, musical fragments, Braille lyrics and the sensitive commentary of the guide accompanying the group. The museum also organizes guided tours adapted for the mentally handicapped.

JSchools

Immerse your students for a visit to contemporary art. The MACS cultural services team researches, invents and implements the most appropriate forms of mediation for each new exhibition. Don’t forget that the museum is free to the school crowd every 1st Wednesday of the month.
