"I like to paint people. I like reading them simply by watching them" - Sophie Kuijken. At first glance, Sophie Kuijken paints portraits. But these representations are anything but innocuous. The artist constructs her works by collecting images gleaned from the internet. She uses photographs of people who inspire her and by multiplying identities, creates singular personalities. The ambiguity of these images is accompanied by a great concern for precision, revealed by the fold of a garment, the choice of a colour, and Kujiken's mastery of the play of shadows and lights.Text in English and French.This book accompanies the exhibition at the Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Paris, running until 10 March 2017, and Art Brussels 2017 (21 to 23 April 2017).

(Re)discover Art Nouveau at the heart of Brussels. At the end of the 19th century, the anti-academic movement pushed Brussels' architects towards Art Nouveau. Both Victor Horta, in an organic style, and Paul Hankar, in a more geometrical tendency, created an architecture that quickly gained an international reputation. In a little more than a decade, from 1893 on, hundreds of Art Nouveau-fashioned buildings appeared in Brussels, elaborated first by the great pioneers and later by their students and imitators who are also influenced by the Vienna Secession and other trends of European Art Nouveau. At first, this style fulfilled industrial bourgeoisie's dreams, yearning to assert itself in the city's structure through this new, and sometimes exuberant, architecture. This book offers nine walks to discover - in different districts - the multiple aspects of architectural Art Nouveau in Brussels. Witness the personal style of the most important architects as well as decorative methods such as sgraffito. Through interviews with owners, custodians and restorers of Art Nouveau-styled buildings, Brussels Art Nouveau describes the fundamental guardians of this remarkable heritage.

“Street food is in my blood. I love its direct appeal to the senses without pretension. It is down to earth and that’s what draws me. To eat something with my hands is a true pleasure. Simple and delicious: that’s my philosophy of food.” - Simona. Today, street food has become known for more than just being a cheap way to eat.

Classic babka, Moroccan meat cigars, Hamentaschen cookies, pomegranate water ice, or sensational hummus with broad beans, all the dishes will make your mouth water and will make you want to cook them for your loved ones.

This publication compares the works of two major Belgian artists - René Magritte and Jean-Michel Folon- their common grounds and their language in painting. Magritte depicts the mystery that emanates from the everyday life, while Folon opts for dreaminess and stylisation. Folon replaces Magritte's pigeon with a refined bird, drawn in a single stroke; he prefers a rectangular parallelepiped to the surrealist's well-described house. When he was 18, in 1953, Folon recalls discovering Le Domaine enchanté, the series of murals Magritte had just painted for the Knokke casino. It was a revelation. Although the two artists never met and 36 years separated them, Folon has acknowledged to be indebted to the master of Belgian surrealism -whom he considers "one of the fathers of his generation"- throughout his career. Magritte, by opening up the paths of mystery in painting, laid the foundations for Folon's art, which would never cease to explore the paths of poetry.

In Belgium, only the Spa-Francorchamps circuit can rival the history and prestige of the Chimay layout. Created in 1926 with the very first Grand Prix des Frontières, this road circuit has, over the decades, become a must-see event for lovers of speed, competition and pure emotion. On the winding roads of the “boot” of Hainaut, the greatest names have shone: Jacky Ickx, Didier de Radiguès, Paul Frère, the Pilette brothers, Lucien and Mauro Bianchi, as well as two-wheel giants such as Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Phil Read and Johnny Cecotto. Chimay has also welcomed Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Henri Pescarolo, Derek Bell, and even some unexpected figures such as Mister Bean and Christophe Dechavanne. Today, the spirit of the circuit remains intact: Supermoto in spring, Classic Bikes and the Open Trophy in summer, not to mention the spectacular European Bug-In, which draws thousands of Volkswagen and Beetle enthusiasts to Chimay every year.Text in English and French.

Almost as old as the kingdom in which it was born, Neuhaus is much more than just a name. It embodies an essential part of Belgium's gastronomic heritage; a promise of pleasure and excellence. A patented supplier to the Court of Belgium, Neuhaus is above all the inventor of the Belgian praline, the melt in the mouth bite that revolutionised the world of chocolate in 1912 and left its mark on the country's gastronomic history.

From the design of the first Cyclone 30 cyclotron to the global recognition of proton therapy, the narrative follows a path marked by breakthroughs, crises overcome, and strategic rebounds. It explores the technical, financial, and human challenges faced by an academic start-up that grew into an international player, balancing boldness with rigour, applied research with industrial performance. But IBA is more than a technological pioneer: it is a corporate citizen committed to advancing the common good. Its model is based on balancing the interests of stakeholders—patients, employees, customers, shareholders, communities, and the environment. Its mission — “to protect, enhance, and save lives” — is made tangible through the thousands of patients treated, the hundreds of accelerators installed worldwide, and a culture deeply rooted in trust, transparency, and long-term vision. Beyond machines and markets, IBA is a mindset: an attentive and daring organisation, faithful to its roots yet firmly focused on the future.

With an introduction by Hans-Gert Pottering and a foreword by Joseph Daul, this book invites you to discover the role played by one of the major political forces to have grown up in the European Parliament, from its creation in 1953 to its comprehensive victory in the European elections in June 2009. The European People's Party brings together most of the centre, moderate and Conservative parties in the Europe of 27. Its views have a decisive and growing influence on EU decision-making. The EPP Group, which has played a part in major European events from the birth of the Community in the midst of the Cold War to the introduction of the Single Market and the Euro, from the reunification of the continent after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the impact of globalisation and the economic crisis, is above all a collection of men and women who share the same values and the same commitment to European integration. Written by Pascal Fontaine, drawn from unpublished archives and interviews, the book is a valuable source of information for anyone wanting a better knowledge and understanding of the history of European integration.
