Can art save the world? This autumn, in the symbolic setting of the medieval St John's Hospital, Musea Brugge is doing an attempt anyway during the autumn exhibition 'Face to face with Death'.
Everything revolves around one masterpiece by Flemish primitive Hugo van der Goes, who conjured 'The Death of the Virgin' from his brush around 1485. A painting that still sparks the imagination 550 years later. The colours splash off the panel. The scene is like a moving scene cut from a film. Only the soundtrack is missing... No coincidence, because when the painter suffered a severe mental breakdown during his lifetime, he was prescribed music therapy as a medicine to recover.
Briklyoung, the artistic youth crew of Musea Brugge and Het Entrepot joined forces to do just so. Together with Joachim Gys (Larf!), Owen Perry Weston (Coely, Paard, Ndugu), Joram Kunde Boumkwo (Big Whoop, Ndugu) and Seckou Ouologuem (museum poet Musea Brugge), they went in search of the soundtrack of their own lives. Starting point for this was Hugo van der Goes' masterpiece and its many universal stories of farewell, comfort, strength and spirituality.
The youngsters will present the result of their trajectory master classes during an atmospheric showcase in the museum's fairy-tale attic.
The Briklyoungers: Brent Soen, Dayo De Baere, Ellenmae Dhont, Emma Vermaercke, Lan Anh Vandevivere, Noa Goderis, Bert Puype, Roeland Van Den Eynde en Ruben Vanden Abeele.
With your ticket you can also join the talk 'No Studio, No Art. How to claim space?' in Salon Arents (16h00) on the occasion of the closing of De Tank's pop-up studio. More information will follow soon.
In collaboration with The Entrepot.
