B. Expo Royal Salon Bruxelles-Central station
|
|
The artist Myriam Louyest invites you from July 23 to September 19, 2021 for a "Journey to the Edge of the World", an imaginary journey through the fabulous Salon Royal at Brussels Central Station.
The exhibition is specially designed for this special space. She establishes a close relationship between the spirit of the place and the sculptures. The living room is like a bubble of tranquility in the bustle of the station, a jewel of the preciousness of another time. It is a world on the fringe of ours, while being part of it.
Myriam Louyest is a French-speaking Belgian artist using different mediums with a pronounced taste for glass. Her practice is most often deployed in monographic exhibitions where she designs a project in close connection with the heritage place she invests.
