The least you can say is that Kanal rouses conflincting emotions. While some eagerly look forward to the “cultural city” – including a long-awaited Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – that the Brussels Capital Region wants to install in the 35,000 m2 of the former Citroën Yser garage, others question the outsourcing of this future cultural hotspot to the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

To soothe everyone’s concerns, before the works begin in the autumn of 2019, audiences are being offered the opportunity to discover the future hub in its raw state for more than a year, through exhibitions, a utopian architectural project, a Home Movie Factory imagined by Michel Gondry, Jean Prouvé’s Maison Tropicale, ten new creations by Brussels-based artists (like Younes Baba-Ali, Emmanuel Van der Auwera, and Vincent Meessen)...and a series of collaborations with local cultural organizations. The site is due to be finished by the end of 2022.
