Summer of photography - C.C. Strombeek & Bozar, Brussels

17 June - 4 September 2016

CC Strombeek has invited Bart Lodewijks to collaborate with a photographer on the occasion of the Summer of Photography at BOZAR, Brussels. This edition of the international photography biennial focuses on the relationship between people and space in Brussels.

Lodewijks made two very large drawings on the roofs of BOZAR and CC Strombeek, which were photographed by photographer Dirk Pauwels and presented on billboards at the 2 locations. In BOZAR, he also makes a wall drawing in the exhibition space.

A special edition newspaper will be published on the occasion.
