Charlemagne Palestine

Keep Calm & Carillon

25/04/2021 — 26/04/2021

A carillon, transformed into a sculpture by artist Charlemagne Palestine, has adorned the ground floor of KANAL since September. The intention was to play this beautiful instrument on a regular basis. For an indoor live audience this is no longer possible for the time being. But a carillon cannot be confined! On April 23rd & 25th KANAL will present two concerts that you can listen to outside, in the public space around KANAL. The concerts will also be streamed via our webradio Studio K

Miniature works

20/02/2021 — 21/02/2021

Have you ever climbed to the top of scaffolding? Have you ever seen trees ... upside down? Have you ever seen a wood fire in… neon lights? Have you ever seen objects that become what you want them to be? And that then become your own work of art? If, as is the case with John M Armleder, art is a game to you, let's go discover his works together as we wander through the vast expanses of the KANAL museum: supine, vertical, upside down, dancing, meditating, in the dark, in the light, etc.

On Wednesday October 7, ICA, CIVA and VAi will follow up on the "Desired Spaces" open call for projects, launched in May, with a day-long debate at Kanal-Centre Pompidou.

Opening: Connecting

05/10/2023

Technology is omnipresent in our daily lives, but what do our online relationships actually represent? How do we inhabit a community through an app? What does it mean to be friends through platforms and avatars? And is there room for love in the metaverse? "Connecting" traces the links between physical reality and the digital world.

On 9 and 10 December, Aubrey Birch will perform CAVES-3 at K1. In an immersive performance - during which you can feel free to lie down - the writer, poet and performer reinterprets the allegory of the cave. Starting from the present and everyday, audience and performer descend into the past and future, to our geological roots. To the stone in our bones, the iron in our blood and the salt in our sweat...
