An art book tracing the history of the Thalie Foundation since 2014, through a programme of exhibitions, artist residencies and high-quality cultural events in Brussels (a historic location) and Arles (summer exhibitions). More than 300 artists, performers and writers have been invited and supported from the start. A private patronage initiative led by Nathalie GUIOT, art collector, publisher, exhibition curator and patron. A central section brings together around a hundred works from the collection, complemented by critical texts by Yann Chateigne-Tytelman (exhibition curator), Chiara Vecchiarelli (philosopher) and Emmanuel Tibloux (director of ENSAD), each reflecting the diversity of the foundation’s commitments.<\/p>\n

“The Thalie Foundation was born out of a desire to create a place for living, thinking and creating, at the crossroads of contemporary art, writing, design and ecology. In 2014, I dreamed of this project as an open, vibrant house, inhabited by dialogue between disciplines, imaginations and urgent issues of our time. This dream took shape in Brussels, in a modernist house transformed into a cultural space. (…) Featuring a selection of works from the collection for the first time, this book gathers the echoes of this human and artistic adventure. Like a living, evolving memory, it is a prelude to what remains to be invented.” Nathalie Guiot.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
