GRESAC (Research Group in Arts and Cultural Sciences) and the Cultural Management Department at ULB are pleased to welcome Pascale Bédard, sociologist of arts and culture at Laval University.

Terunobu Fujimori is a Japanese architect, historian, and designer renowned for his ability to meld contemporary forms with traditional craftsmanship and natural materials. Beginning his career as an architectural historian, he gained international prominence in the 1990s through works that are at once imaginative and often playful, such as the Too-High Teahouse (Takasugi-an), the Lamune Onsen complex, and La Collina in Shiga. His creations combine charred wood, earth, copper, and vegetation, giving rise to buildings that are both poetic and tactile, deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and offering a renewed vision of architecture as an art capable of engaging in dialogue with history and landscape.

An important milestone for the world of design | The Klassik Stiftung Weimar publishes an online catalogue raisonné of Henry van de Velde's furniture designs

After more than twenty years of research, 1,657 designs created between 1891 and 1941 by the Belgian designer are now available to the public via a free digital catalog.

This catalog lists all known works in metal, textiles, ceramics, wood, etc. created by Henry van de Velde throughout his career. Each entry documents the date of design, dimensions, technique used, materials, production, clientele, provenance, and preserved examples.

The online edition includes, for the first time, a presentation of 377 models of chairs, leisure furniture, and wicker furniture.The initiative builds on the previous publication of three volumes devoted to van de Velde's works, published between 2009 and 2016. The catalog entries published in book form include 825 metal works, 196 textiles, and 256 ceramics, accompanied by more than 2,700 photos. The online edition is designed as a dynamic platform that greatly simplifies research on Henry van de Velde and can be enriched with new content as needed. By 2027, some 700 entries on tables, storage furniture, and small furniture, as well as additional sources, are planned.

The project was carried out with the support of several international partners: the Henry van de Velde Fund ASBL (Brussels), the Archives and Museums of Literature and the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) in Brussels, the Ghent University Library, and the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich.

From September 19 to 28, ENSAV La Cambre will take over the Espace Vanderborght to present the projects of its Master's class of 2025. Installations, videos, visual artworks, and performances will offer a broad overview of contemporary experimentation. The exhibition invites visitors to explore the research, approaches, and worlds of a generation in the making.

L'Atelier Accessoires is taking over MAD Brussels to present its Master collections.
The exhibition is conceived as much as a moment of passage as a gesture of unveiling: that of patiently elaborated research, forms and materials. Each project develops a way of thinking about the object - worn, carrying, signifying - that resonates with contemporary issues of the body, image and clothing.
Between rigorous gesture and plastic freedom, the proposals question the boundaries between the functional, the symbolic and the sculptural. Here, accessories become language.
