Entre futur et poussière
Kinshasa-(N)tonga
22/03/2022 — 22/04/2022
This project presents a confrontation between the rigid grid layout designed for the city and the human aspect and the fluid sensations therein; it is a combination of a multitude of fantasies around Kinshasa, a megalopolis of over ten million inhabitants. Kinshasa is a vast, sprawling city, often labelled as individualistic due to its SAPEUR (Dandy) character that has been built up in successive layers over several centuries.

Between the 8th may and August 28th 2020, KANAL- Centre Pompidou, in collaboration with the new platform #windowmuseum, will present the exhibition IN SITU. This first exhibition to emerge in the context of the current crisis seeks to answer the question: ‘How can we continue to exhibit artworks today?’ IN SITU will be part of a series of exhibitions curated by #windowmuseum at three venues: KANAL-Centre-Pompidou in Brussels, the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris, and BPS 22 in Charleroi.

Connecting
06/10/2023 — 03/12/2023
"Connecting" imagines new interdependencies between humans and non-humans. These connections expand and reshape our understanding of affection, kinship, and relationships. In investigating this new texture of experience, artists in the exhibition reflect on the transformative quality of technology in shaping our emotional worlds.

Performance
OONA DOHERTY
HOPE HUNT AND THE ASCENSION INTO LAZARUS
10/11/2018 — 11/11/2018
In a delivery area, a parked car blasts tracks mixed by a DJ who opens a trap door through which Oona Doherty emerges from the vehicle. The artist launches into a first hip-hop solo. Interacting with the audience, the choreographer and performer ushers the spectators through the building, leading them to another stage, where a second solo takes place.
In this double solo titled Hope Hunt and the Ascension into Lazarus, the artist Oona Doherty moves through the space with her hair pulled back and dressed in baggy hip-hop clothes that conceal the gender of whoever is wearing them.
