Open Atelier
Vivre à FranDisco
with Marcel Schmitz and Thierry Van Hasselt
Sunday, 9.5.2021
The urban structure “FranDisco” is the brainchild of “urbatect” Marcel Schmitz, a Belgian artist with Down syndrome, who is almost fifty years old. This three-dimensional city, which Schmitz has made from cardboard, embroidery and adhesive tape, is documented by Thierry Van Hasselt, comics artist and co-founder of the Brussels publishing platform Frémok, in drawings that ensure it will be remembered, along with all the reasons for its construction, and never forgotten. Both artists will attend the exhibition and create cities with the visitors. From 6 years onwards
