In the margin, Ghent

The exhibition "In de marge'" shows pictures of things that occur in the margin or, as described in the link below, on "the other site of human existence. the deviant, the unusual, the unnoticed , the vulgar.."  The venue is the Museum Dr Guislain in Ghent, a psychiatry museum which opened in 1986 and is worth a visit on its own merit. The catalogue of the exhibition contains a contribution by the museum on the link between psychiatry and documentary photography.

Among the participating photographers are Stephan Vanfleteren, Bruno Stevens, Filip Claus, Gaël Turine, Marc Trivier and Cédric Gerbehaye. Also on display is work of the four Belgian Magnum photographers Carl De Keyzer, Martine Franck, John Vink and Harry Gruyaert. The exhibition opened with an evening during which three of the latter four engaged in a lively discussion. Pictures of the three coming up tomorrow.

Galerie d'Art Win in rue Darwin

The two large photographs attracted my attention in the gallery with the perfect name to match the street in which it is located: rue DARWIN in Ixelles, Brussels.

Look for the differences

After posting yesterday's entry on resemblances, I went to the Sunday market on Place Flagey (Ixelles, Brussels). Impossible not to photograph and post two more pictures on the same subject. It can not be denied that Brussels is a dog loving city.

Dogs in the city

The resemblances are striking, aren't they?

Bourla 2

All right, since Jérôme asked yesterday, here are the pictures of the restaurant on the first floor.

Bourla part 1

This Antwerp theater building was constructed by French architect Pierre Bourla in 1834. A sober, neo-classicist building, the Bourla houses the Toneelhuis, Antwerp's theater company. The photo's show the entrance hall built in the shape of a semi circle.

Wiels, inside

The restoration of the old brewery turned the building into an inviting center of contemporary art with several levels of exhibition space, room for annual exhibitions and extra activities such as cinema, conferences. Three original copper beer kettles are on display in the cafetaria on the ground floor and a permanent reminder of Wiels' industrial past.
