164VANVOLXEM, Brussels, Belgium
Rosas, P.A.R.T.S., and Ictus are celebrating the opening of their renewed space 164VANVOLXEM in Brussels with an almost month-long festival (30 January–22 February 2026), featuring over 45 makers, each connected to the site.
The Van Volxem site acquires a new dimension with the addition of a permanent artwork by Ann Veronica Janssens and Michel François titled Zeitgeber. A monumental tree trunk from a century-old American oak placed on the meadow, the social sculpture creates a site of gathering.
Zeitgeber will be inaugurated on Sunday, 1 February at 2pm. Following an introduction by Katrien Laenen (Platform Kunst in Opdracht) Dirk Snauwaert (Director, WIELS), Boštjan Antončič will perform his solo Bernabo.
