Lietje Bauwens and Wouter De Raeve will exhibit a remnant of the WTC towers at Kaaitheater. In the 1960s, this building project was an ambitious dream; but today, the towers have already been demolished. What to do with the debris of failed modernism, the waste of contemporary capitalism? Does what is being built today on these remnants offer a worthy alternative, or do we need fresh alternatives?

Artist Pieter Van den Bosch created five publicly accessible fire constructions, including one during Festival Kanal in Brussels; five variations of ‘attack situations’, devoid of any intrinsic or other threat. Against the physical performance, a central focus of his exhibition is the opportunity to look at the images.

The Iraqi photographer Hussein Atshan was born between two years after the start of the first Gulf War. He was in Baghdad during the second Gulf War and also the 1991 uprising. When America invaded in 2003 he became both fighter and victim. In the end he fled to Belgium, where he has been living for seven years. His photos showcase military helmets from the First and Second World War. They represent a history of violence and suppression.

Burning Ice - The five artifacts presented in this exhibit describe postnatural history beginning with the earliest domesticated animals and plants, to the dawn of genetic engineering and synthetic biology.

It’s the latest trend: producing food in the middle of the city. The aim of Voorraad BRXL Réserve is to demonstrate that urban farming in Brussels is alive and has potential. Each day one of several existing initiatives will introduce itself and offer products to taste.

The American group The Yes Men puts the big shots of this world to shame (the World Trade Organisation, McDonald’s, Dow Chemical, etc.). They create fake websites, publish fake newspapers, speak at conferences, make guest appearances on TV shows and so on. We present their editions of the New York Post and the New York Times and the video The Yes Men Fix The World.
