Serge Louis et Vanessa Sutour ont écrit "Pochoirs et Pochoiristes à Bruxelles", un livre contenant des interviews d’artistes (Jef Aerosol, Poch, Peripheral Media Projects, The Dude Company, Damien-Paul Gal, Denis Meyers, ...) et plus de 300 photographies de pochoirs. Préface de Samantha Longhi.

L'exposition relate l'évolution de la calligraphie chinoise de la période classique à l'époque contemporaine. L'art de la calligraphie est apparu il y a environ 2.000 ans et n'a, depuis lors, connu aucune interruption.


In 1947, three young artists Louis Deltour, Edmond Dubrunfaut and Roger Somville signed the manifest giving birth to "Forces murales". Engaged artists, they aimed their art to serve the people. They find their inspiration in people’s lives, work, struggles, tragedies, victories and hope. They revived the art of tapestry and Muralism in Belgium. Collective and active, their expression was also fundamentally political. Although the adventure of the group Forces murales ended in 1959, their ideal leaves its mark on their art production long after.
In 2007, about 1,500 square meters of the stop’s wall were legally covered in by 60 graffiti artists. Entitled “The Walk”, the project was assessed positively, both by locals and tram passengers. Because of the tremendous response, the authorities decided to extend the project by another 3,000 square meters in order to create the continent’s biggest graffiti fresco.
