The exhibition takes place at Tweebronnen, Diestsestraat 49, 3000
Leuven.
The renovated van de Velde complex, Tweebronnen, is the perfect setting
for a strip exhibition. The world-famous Belgian architect Henry van
de Velde designed this unique building, which is worth visiting as
such. Together with Victor Horta, van de Velde was the most significant
exponent of the Belgian Art Nouveau.
Tweebronnen
is 1 of the few surviving van de Velde-buildings. It was constructed
between 1936-42
and served initially as technical school ("RITO"). After
years of vacancy and neglect, it was finally renovated in 1999.
The superb, stylish building is situated in the heart of Leuven, between
the Diestsestraat and the Rijschoolstraat. The rooms are filled with
natural light: 70 percent of the exterior walls consist of windowpanes.
Tweebronnen
serves as public library and city archive. At the same time, you find
a coffee bar on the premises, and the documentation centre of the
province of Flemish Brabant, a VRT-radio studio and different fully
equipped exhibition areas. The building enables locals as well as
tourists to get to know different exponents of culture. On a regular
basis, there are exhibitions and other cultural events in order to
expand the cultural offer in the provincial capital of Flemish Brabant.
Beeld Beeld
is 1 of the steady partners to make this happen.
