15/06/2010›30/01/2011 : THE STUDIO OF FRANQUIN, JIJÉ, MORRIS AND WILL (BRUXELLES) © cbbd 2010 This exhibition, initiated by Isabelle, André Franquin¿s daughter, and with the support of the artist Frédéric Jannin is neither an exhaustive record nor an informative account of La Bande des Quatre. Rather, it is a declaration of love. By means of rare documents and evocative presentation, it reflects a simple desire to portray a creative spirit made up of influences, dialogues and humour, that spirit which transformed a peaceful family home in Waterloo into a studio bubbling over with ideas, the very melting pot of modern comic strip art. know more...

18/06/2010›26/09/2010 : LE FANTÔME DE LA RUE DES SABLES (THE GHOST OF SAND STREET) (BRUXELLES) © Marc Sleen Marc Sleen was certainly a visionary when in 1995, he had his brainchild Nibbs meet a ghost in the completely run-down building along the Rue des Sables in Brussels. At that time, no-one could ever have imagined that 15 years later, that same building would be housing the Marc Sleen Museum. So, there are plenty of reasons for dedicating an entire exhibition to this symbolic comic strip album. Come and (re)discover Marc Sleen, his comic strip characters and their adventures! know more...
