Enter the universe of Flemish comic book author Wauter Mannaert: a world where ancient myths are crossed with today's problems, where the city really begins to live and the personal enters into dialogue with the collective. Through his most important works, De Queeste, Yasmina and Weegee, you will be introduced to Mannaert's artistic universe in all its richness. The exhibition highlights the artist's range of themes and graphic approaches, offering an immersion into the heart of his unique and poetic worldview.

French comic magazine Métal Hurlant is 50 years old! Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet, Moebius and Bernard Farkas founded the magazine in 1975. So many years later, this dream machine is steaming ahead at full speed. From its early years, Métal Hurlant did not just redefine comics: the magazine pushed the boundaries between artistic disciplines and opened a whole new space for dialogue between drawing, science fiction, music, film and philosophy. Meanwhile, it is widely acknowledged to have changed the face of comics worldwide. In its half-century of existence, the cogs of the machine jammed a few times, but in 2021 the magazine, in a new guise, began a new life. This third revolution, meanwhile, counts 12 issues. To celebrate Métal Hurlant's 50th anniversary, the exhibition looks at the past and present, zooming in on the richness and influence of the revolutionary magazine, which reaches far beyond the world of comics. Curator: Gilles Francescano With the support of the players of the National Lottery
