NO SHOW

Vorschau: geschrieben vor der Eröffnung

Kanal stands on the site of Brussels' first luna park, and this show takes the hint. Its question, asked with some irony, is whether a museum can entertain, and its answer fills five rooms with art, light, sound and live performance by twenty Brussels artists.

The set is by Deborah Bowmann, the alias of artists Amaury Daurel and Victor Delestre, and the soundscape is by musician Maoupa Mazzocchetti. You move between front of house and backstage, and, in Kanal's words, between fact and fabrication. The duo's old artist-run space in Saint-Gilles kept changing what it was, from a shoe shop to a car park to their own home, and Kanal calls this their largest project yet.

It closes on 17 January, months before Kanal's other opening shows. A standard ticket is €14, 19 to 26s pay €7, and museumPASSmusées and Brussels Card holders go free. Hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, Thursdays until 20:00, and the opening Saturday runs to midnight.
