Dedicated to contemporary creation, the Museum of Contemporary Arts of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (MACS) is situated in the heart of the site of the former colliery of Grand-Hornu, a jewel of Belgian industrial architecture.
The MACS stages three major exhibitions each year (monographs or thematic) with big names from the Belgian and international contemporary art world. The MACS also regularly provides a showcase for young Belgian creation.
With its ambitious vocation to raise the awareness of the widest possible audience to contemporary art, the cultural mission of the MACS is defined through three main areas: forming a collection, programming exhibitions and organising cultural activities for all audiences.
Open to a wide range of genres and disciplines, the MACS focuses its attention both on traditional forms of artistic practices (painting, sculpture, etc.) and its modern (photography, installation, etc.) and contemporary avatars (video, multimedia, etc.).
Supported by a major cultural activities department, the Museum’s mission goes hand-in-hand with an "education in looking".

L'exposition « Les Fabriques du coeur et leur usage » invite à jeter un œil sur le monde et les hommes et les femmes qui l’habitent, sur les folies et les fabriques dispersées çà et là par l’entendement, la mémoire et le cœur.
À quoi s'attendre ?
- Une dizaine de chapitres traitent de choses simples de la vie : la naissance du monde, la solitude, les maisons, les groupes, les individus, les héros, les peintures de fleurs et de paysages…
- Chaque sujet est présenté librement afin d’être le moteur du regard singulier de chaque spectateur lié à sa mémoire et à son imagination, car bien des formes poétiques naissent de voisinages énigmatiques et de mystérieuses affinités – déjà présents dans les œuvres que nous donnent les artistes – pour que l’esprit parcoure des lointains inconnus jusqu’alors.
Un rendez-vous avec l'imaginaire en province de Hainaut.
