The Paul Hankar Institute, Brussels – Two Exhibitions Like a Tree is an exhibition of photographs taken by Luc Teper in Brussels over a period of two years. These images, taken at different times of the day and night, capture the beauty and form of numerous trees and also of the accompanying wildlife. Luc is a teacher at the Paul Hankar Institute in Brussels. Photography is his passion. His two favourite themes are nature and cities that have a deep cultural tradition such as Bruges, Venice and Brussels. The Art Nouveau in Europe Conceptual Exhibition features the work of The Paul Hankar Institute’s Interior Design Students. This presentation explores the Art Nouveau style in Europe. For this project the students were inspired by how iron, a rough and functional material, took on a specific, lighter aesthetic dimension during the Art Nouveau period. Working with cardboard, an everyday material, the young people transformed boxes into new entities, thus making the observer look at this contemporary object in a different light. ENGAGE Arts Festival wishes to acknowledge The Gallery, Kinsale in association with Irish in Europe Community ambassador, Roos Demol, for curating this double exhibition from The Paul Hankar Institute.
