Chim Chim Cheree: Swiss Artists Take Over Brussels' New L.A.P. Space

The Language and Art Project (L.A.P.), a newly established private art center in Brussels founded by French collector Agnès Rein, debuted with the exhibition 'Chim Chim Cheree,' curated by Anne-Laure Chamboissier. Situated at 35 Boulevard de l'Abattoir, this center aspires to be a space for experimental contemporary art. The show includes works from Swiss artists such as Olivier Mosset, John Armleder, Francis Baudevin, Stéphane Dafflon, Philippe Decrauzat, Christian Robert-Tissot, David Renggli, and Aloïs Godinat, who offer a satirical perspective on modernist aesthetics. The exhibition spans six rooms, presenting both dialogues and solo pieces that explore modernist abstraction through innovative content and techniques, featuring Renggli's faux ready-made and Godinat's reimagining of common objects.
