John M Armleder in conversation with Rectangle (Aline Melaet, Pierre-Pol Lecouturier and Xavier Pauwels)
Tea Time #2
25/09/2020 — 26/09/2020
Rectangle, an independent art space in Brussels, has been committed since 2012, to researching different ways of showing and experiencing art. One particular example by the collective was the production of a series of exhibitions that gained notoriety via the rental of a billboard in the Saint-Gilles district and by turning this advertising space into the site for the exhibition. In parallel with It Never Ends, Rectangle invited John M Armleder to create an exhibition in a public space. The artist called it "Isocèle".
Rendez-vousTalk
John M Armleder in conversation with Bernard Blistène and Mai-Thu Perret
Tea Time #1
24/09/2020 — 25/09/2020
Drinking tea, artists talking to each other, friends talking amongst each other, including the public in the exchanges, creating a contact between art and everyday life. John M Armleder has been conceiving works of art, exhibitions and events as encounters ever since the 1960s. The work of art becomes both the object of an aesthetic experience and the occasion for a meeting and an exchange. Every day therefore, as part of the exhibition It Never Ends, Armleder talks, at tea time and in public, with his guests: artists, curators, friends and acquaintances, etc.

What makes the museum of the twenty-first century so special? And what does the contemporary museum space look like? On the occasion of the launch of A+285 Museums and the reopening of Kanal-Centre Pompidou, A+ and CIVA invite you to a debate during which we will address the issue of museum architecture.
