Desigual drama
Inno, Rue Neuve, 1000 BXL A drama took place in the window of the Inno department store. Was it the bear? the christmas tree ? more…
Buiten Diest
Grote Markt, 1000 Brussels. A small mistake in the translation to Dutch of ‘Hors Service’ / out of service: It should have been ‘Buiten dienst’. Some kind person added the missing ‘n’ with a pen. ‘Diest’, by the way, is a city in Belgium. Buiten Diest, therefore means ‘outside of Diest’. more…
Bed gate 2
Rue Vandenbogaerde, 1080 Molenbeek A found bed in the process of being transormed to a fence around a reclaimed bit of city green. Below are some previous stages of this work in progress: http://westenberg.constantvzw.org/?p=1836 http://westenberg.constantvzw.org/?p=1035 more…
Ex shop
Thys-straat, 1060 Sint-Gillis This former shop is inhabited. The small entry niche is converted and now houses plants. Judging from the blue signs next to them, the plants are under safe camera surveillance. more…

Scratch & peek
The glass wall of the corridor that spans the central hall of the Bozar museum in Brussels is temporarily blocked with grey self adhesive plastic. A scratched hole in the plastic allows a view on the lower storey. Is this expression of spatial curiosity intended as a critical intervention addressing problematics of representation of female […] more…

Luxurious apartments !
Apartments are constructed everywhere, even in La Louvière :-). Judging from the moss and weeds growing on the site, their construction has started already some time ago. Hopefully the lengthy building period will not prevent these apartments to eventually become ‘luxurious’ as is announced on the banner that is attached to the gate surrounding the […] more…

Yellow Black White
Rue d’Andenne, 1060 Saint-Gilles A door with a rather atypical colour scheme. Now that the world cup soccer is played in Brazil and flags of many colours fly in the streets of Brussels, i can’t help wondering of this could be a way to express sympathy to a certain country ? But black yellow and […] more…
Corner Winkel
A nice bilingual shop sign on Rue du Midi, 1000 Bxl. In Dutch / English ‘Corner Winkel’ would mean: corner shop. In German / English it could be a poetic way to translate corner. ‘Corner angle’, ‘Corner corner’ hmm suggestions welcome. more…

Depannage immediat
Rue de l’intendant, Molenbeek There’s too many cars? The world is in need of immediate reparation? Not sure how this plastic illustration of the northern hemisphere is best interpretated. In the middle of fading blue plastic continents apears a sign of a car that is being towed. more…

Mosaic floor
One of my favorite Brussels musea is the Cinquantenaire Museum. It houses an amazing collection of historic items, ranging from medieval silverware, gothic sculptures and Flemish tapestries to 19th and 20th century furniture and interior design. The big internal square on the groundfloor in the history wing deserves a place in the collection of its […] more…
Black Marker revisited
After the subtle black marble tomb-stone like intervention of artist Pierre Lizin (see this post) had disappeared, a space opened up for once again a re-inscription of the word ‘arabe’. The typography and handwriting are in line with the one in this post from 2010. more…

Metal collector
Often old appliances are illegally dumped in our neighborhood. A possible reasons can be that the city garbage service ‘Bruxelles Propreté’ is not always very effective. Throwing certain materials away in containerparks is paid, and can be expensive. Not everybody has a car to bring big objects to a container on the other end of […] more…
