Arizona Blueberry White Tea, the freshest thing to have hit Brussels streets since Vitaminwater. / 03. Brussels’ town hall gets the snowball treatment. / 04. Fluocaril toothpaste was a major part of our childhood. Just as much as cod liver oil tablets and an-apple-a-day dressing downs were. / 05. Launched earlier this year by Ghinzu frontman John Stargasm and Frederic Nicolay, Volga’s playful take on Russian references and subtle design detail have made it the house draught at some of the city’s choosiest drinking dens.

01. Worlds colliding Encompassing contemporary photographs and images of recent decades as well as daguerreotypes, ferrotypes and ambrotypes which illustrate the first 100 years before the negative was even born, this exhibition takes the viewer on a journey through time and through a country of contrasts whilst staying clear of the usual clichés (you know, see, sex and sun). At times dreadful, at others breathtakingly beautiful, Bozar’s extensive and eclectic visual voyage deep into a land of opposites and extremes perfectly captures the vastness, cultural diversity and geographic heterogeneity of the Amazon rain forest’s desolate hinterland that characterises Brazil in so many ways. Extremes Brazilian Photography 1840/2011 Until 15 th January 2012 Bozar, Brussels bozar.be * ThE ParTy you CaN’T MISS black out @ Mr. Wong (Brussels), on 10 th December – Catclub’s wild little sister is back with another memorable night blending old school house with italo-disco and new wave. Jessica 6 LIVE (NyC), Baris K (Istanbul) and Lady Jane (Brussels) behind the decks to make sure you’re kept on your feet until dawn. catclub.be 02. Space oddity A visual artist since 1983, Dutch-born Boris Tellegen (also known as Delta by his street-savvy peers) first began as a graffiti artist in and around Amsterdam, going on to build up quite the name for himself across European shores through his use of 3D techniques. Having now graduated to the world of studios and galleries, his current work still exudes the energy and sparks of his graffiti years (the geometrical and three-dimensional nature of most of his works remains) although it has gained in maturity as far as the execution and, most importantly, the narrative are concerned. His works tell a story now, come to life and battle for attention: it’s not always easy to look at Tellegen’s work, although that only adds to its sheer power and immediacy. Boris Tellegen aka Delta: abundance From 24 th November to 23 rd December Alice Gallery, Brussels alicebxl.com Neighbourhood Belgium 03. fade to grey With its comprehensive retrospective of internationally renowned Belgian photographer Dirk Braeckman, Leuven’s M Museum provides as extensive an overview as possible of the famously restrained photographer’s body of work, ranging from his early-beginning selfportraits to his newer landscape images. What’s more, the viewer gets the chance to examine the artist’s experimentations with digital photography, a technique he only recently began toying with. The mysterious and anonymous quality of his photos however prevails throughout Braeckman’s whole oeuvre, avoiding to emphasize the link with the subject and opting instead for unfocused presentations in dark shades of grey. Absolutely not to be missed. Dirk Braeckman Until 8 th January 2012 M Museum, Leuven mleuven.be 04. unsolved mysteries Robert Devriendt’s miniature oil paintings tell intimate stories by showing fragments of people, animals, landscapes or spaces which greatly resemble film stills. With his special attention to detail and precise, realistic painting technique harking back to the Flemish Primitives, he creates an intriguing world full of sensuality. A fetishist, a young girl, a blood stained dog, a taxidermist – these and other figures make regular appearances in his at times obscure and gloomy series of work, set in a natural decor with Devriendt slipping into the role of a hermit living an insular life in the woods. Fittingly, the exhibition The woods of love and horror, which bears resemblance to an unfinished film, is inspired by murder mysteries and crime thrillers. robert Devriendt: The woods of love and horror Until 23 rd December Galerie Baronian Francey, Brussels baronianfrancey.com * ThE FESTIVaL To CaTCh autumn falls @ Brussels, from 21 st to 27 th November – reading like a rollcall of indie rock’s current cream of the crop (everyone from Suuns and Metronomy to Matthew herbert and Fool’s Gold), autumn Falls’ second edition comes back with an ever bigger line up, ovetaking the city’s live venues for a five day rampage. autumnfalls.be ( 01 10 ) 01. 02. 03. 04. 13 © Courtesy A.L.I.C.E.
