The Vanhaerents Art Collection is a collection of contemporary art located in a former industrial building in the Dansaert district in the heart of Brussels.
The second collection presentation Sympathy for the Devil, as well as the exhibition David Altmejd – Colossi are now on show.
For this second group exhibition in the Vanhaerents Art Collection curators Walter Vanhaerents and Pierre-Olivier Rollin have again chosen the title of a rock song.
Sympathy for the Devil is the first track on the Rolling Stones album Beggars Banquet. Each of the selected art works are linked in one way or the other to prominent ideas in the song.
From April 23, 2010 until March 10, 2012 a series of monumental mirror sculptures by David Altmejd (1974, Canada) is on show in the Project Room of the Vanhaerents Art Collection. Altmejd created these six giants as classically-inspired colossi.
The giants already traveled from the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art to Le Magasin in Grenoble and Les Abattoirs in Toulouse.
