Rebellion and adrenalin fuel street artists' exhibtion
(26 Jan 2018) LEADIN
An unusual exhibition of street art which pushes the boundaries of what is accessible to the public has opened in Belgium.
The Swedish artists behind the collection say they are motivated by rebellion fuelled by adrenalin.
STORYLINE
Fences, walls and signs mark borders and spaces, warning about the inaccessibility of private places and that trespassing is illegal.
The depiction of physical limitations is a recurring theme at the Wonderland exhibit at Brussels' Mima Museum.
The artists are playing with the idea that whatever is forbidden can be broken into and moulded into something else.
Visitors need to try hard and find a key or crack a code to unlock the mystery of what's hidden behind the fence.
The two Swedish artists behind this exhibiiton, working under the assumed names Akay and Olabo, often break into neglected properties, making them their canvas, turning them into works of street art.
Wonderland showcases Akay and Olabo's creative streak through three-floors of installations, videos and photos.
For the reclusive artists, who requested not to be interviewed with their faces to the camera, moving from dirty, messy pavements to the shiny floors of an art institution required a leap of faith.
Raphael Cruyt, Mima's Museum Co-Founder and Curator, explains the concept of the exhibit.
We want to share with the public the deep motivation of artists in the streets. People always see the same side of the moon, it means the bright side; the bright side is the number of followers clicking to like a photo of a street installation. But (by doing) that we a little forget what is behind, what's the deep motivation of those artists. And the motivation is a sense of rebellion, that's really important; then also a critic of society, of capitalism and, last, the search of a kick of adrenaline.
Akay and Olabo shun social media at a time when many of their colleagues have embraced Instagram and Facebook to reach a wider public.
Wonderland opens a series of exhibits at the Mima dedicated to civil disobedience that will run through 2018.
It does so by showcasing how defiance is done: the first floor hosts an installation that connects keys to photos of buildings Akay and Olabo have broken into in the past.
A collection of photographs recounts these adventures and how the artists have transformed landfill sites, industrial buildings and even sheltered bus stops with their paint and graffiti.
Moving such rawness to a museum is not that radical a change, says Akay.
Most work we do we find, we look for empty buildings or abandoned houses, so then we're also coming inside. And we tried to treat this museum as an abandoned building. So we're here to interact with the building and to make it a playful place to be.
Recycling and giving new life to ruined structures also plays a big part in the pair's artistic exploration; the answer to consumerism is not letting structures go to waste, even when no one looks at them any longer.
So even an old Fiat 500 car straight from the 1970's can be broken into and inhabited thanks to a tree-house-like structure built on top of it.
What's pivotal to the whole process is the idea that a building has to be freed from the chains that make it impenetrable.
There's an abundance of handles at Wonderland and a challenge to visitors to find the right combination to open locks, doors and hearts, such as in Zen and the Art of Lock Cracking installation.
In the end a neglected building is a place for freedom and creativity and that's what inspires the artists, says Olabo.
Alain Lorfevre, an art critic for La Libre Belgique newspaper in Belgium, praises Akay and Olabo for bringing alive dusty grey buildings.

Controversial street art in Belgian capital
(27 Jan 2017) A struggling child has a blade to his neck ready for slaughter. A gutted body is hanging upside down, blood seeping out. It's called street art in Brussels and it is as controversial as it is huge.
Since they appeared last weekend, the paintings have made an anonymous street artist the talk of the town and reignited an age-old debate about art: how far can it go before it causes outrage?
Local resident Nicole Brisard said she thought the painting of a gutted man hanging upside down was hellish and awful.
The mural depicting a lynched De Witt brother can be seen far and wide, including by hundreds of thousands of commuters on Belgium's busiest stretch of railway.
As she walked her barking dog Max past the building with the painting, which has been draped down seven flights of a low-rent apartment building, she gasped; It's the mentality of madmen.
Some parents in the grimy, gentrifying neighbourhood where the basketball court-sized mural of a child howling in fear is located have complained that children are having trouble sleeping because of the terrifying sight outside their windows.
It is almost as shocking to think they were painted on a few bitterly cold nights in Brussels while dangling down a rope and staying out of sight of authorities.
Brussels city council member Ans Persoons said it was difficult to allow the city to be an artistic hub that people want to come and visit while respecting residents' rights not to be confronted with such depictions on their walls.
Ans Persoons said there had been complaints but the city would allow the paintings to remain unless there were tensions.
Many art insiders suspect the painter behind the murals is the same one who created huge frescoes of human genitalia a few months ago.
The public outcry over those, several of which are still on full view, may have pushed the artist to shock with a different, historic and cultural, twist.
The gutted body is based on a detail of The corpses of the Brothers De Witt who were lynched in 17th century Netherlands and were gruesomely painted by Dutch master Jan de Baen.
The knife mural is based on the biblical scene, the Sacrifice of Isaac, and painted by Italian great Caravaggio, a specialist in beheading scenes.
The Brothers De Witt is in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and The Sacrifice of Isaac in the equally hallowed Uffizi in Florence.
Bjorn Van Poucke, curator of the Crystal Ship, a major European street art festival, said the artist was trying to answer people's outrage against the paintings of genitals by taking inspiration from historical works of art.
He actually says with these last two works that if you still think these are shocking, please be aware that it is inspired by two historical paintings over 400 years old.
Van Poucke said the painter had better stay anonymous since he might be facing fines and costs of up to 25,000 euros even though the artistic in-crowd has strong suspicions pointing toward one artist with a reputation for such work.
