Art watching by Pauline Lecerf

Meyboom is situated in a very strange place. From our window, we see a street, parking spaces, a roundabout, an abandonned garden, buildings, lots of spaces, an esplanade, and lots of different levels. To celebrate this view Pauline Lecerf proposed :

  • Bring several pair of binoculars and place it near a window that would serve as a "watching point"
  • Place visual propositions from you guys in the places and streets that you can see from Meyboom window. A poster, a photo, a sticker, a little sculpture, a dance, a performance...
  • Produce a little booklet with a map of all the propositions near the "watching point'

Plotter Party by OSP

On May 4th OSP and XPUB host a pen plotter party celebrating the launch of the plotter station. The party is a moment of exchange engaging plotter enthusiasts and anyone curious to explore plotting cultures.

During the party we'll make an interactive tour of pen-plotter experiments, tools and zines: exploring the performative and attitudes of the plotters, vector graphics, illustrations, typography and layout, we'll speak HPGL and share practices working intimately with tools, while using free and open source software.

With the plotter party, OSP launches their plotting station as a next step in ten years of pen plotter activities, curiosity and enthusiasm. XPUB is the Experimental Publishing Master course in Fine Art and Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam.

Radio Show

Meyboom Radio, en direct depuis Meyboom Artist run-spaces situé pour l'instant au 34 bd Pacheco. Les 4 & 5 juin c'est le festival meyboom et pour l'occasion nous prenons l'antenne de Radio Campus Bruxelles, merci à elleux ! Pendant deux heures, nous allons parler des artists-run spaces, de la collectivité, et du futur de Meyboom, puisque, si nous existons commee collectif.ve, nous allons être contraint.es de changer d'espace. Attention, l'émission sera en 3 langues parfois traduites parfois non, puisque notre collectif est multi-lingue. On va vous en dire plus sur tout ça, nos missions, nos difficultés, etc.

The radio show included:

  • Collective playlist of protest songs introduced by David -> for every song we play, either a moment of reading and understandig the lyrics, or at least give some context. Protest songs ou chants de révolte dans tous les genres musicaux, pour toutes les causes, et pour la plupart des chansons dont on ne soupçonne pas qu'elles sont au service d'une cause.
  • Bronski Beat with a foreword by David WHY 7" mix
  • Collective reading of our statement on space for artists, where 5/6 people each read a paragraph or even read simultaneously to emphasize multiplicity.
