Born in Brussels in 1955, Pierre Devreux is a self-taught visual artist. He began his career in the 1980s. A painter and a sculptor, the artist – who is somewhat of a loner – combines his creativity with his perspective on the world in his work. A committed artist, Pierre Devreux questions the lack of dialogue and interactions between human beings.

The theme of ritual and religious dances in Indonesia is now a mass attraction. As the subject of tourism-related endeavours, they sometimes lose their sacred quality, which is deeply rooted in Indonesian culture.
Produced for the magazine "Kult, Carnet de Voyage Sénégal", Angie Pir's collages, Jemmy Lamar's illustrations and Xavier Lozet's photos tell the story of Côte FM, a community radio station in Nianing (Petite Côte in Senegal). However, these works reveal much more than a trip; they are the reflection of an adventure that leaves no-one unscathed, of an experience that is so overwhelming that it has to be shared.
Indonesia effortlessly evokes exoticism, South-east Asia, its cultures and its spices. Since ancient times, spices have been transported to Europe and used in our dishes throughout the centuries. This is the story of the journey of spices from Asia to our corner of the world, and their use – which has varied over the centuries – as recounted by the "The Spice Route. From Indonesia to our plates” exhibition.
