Olivier Strebelle est l'une des figures de proue de la sculpture belge. Né en 1927 dans une famille d'artiste, il s'exprime d'abord à travers la céramique avant de s'épanouir dans des créations en bronze et en acier inoxydable. Ses oeuvres sont marquées par un anthropomorphisme dissimulé dans un dialogue savamment dosé entre la figuration et l'abstraction, entre les formes concaves et convexes, le tout dans un jeu d'asymétrie et de symétrie.

Toutes les œuvres d'Olivier Strebelle sont conçues en étroite relation avec son environnement, que ce soit sous forme d'objets, de paysages voire de spectacles. Dans toute son œuvre, on peut rencontrer une réelle symbiose entre l'art et la nature.

"Listen! A Brussels Future Music Festival" a été lancé en 2016 dans une volonté d'allier électro et innovation : mêler son, lumière et technologie en somme. Durant les trois jours de festival bruxellois Listen! propose un programme fait de diversité et de créativité.

Listen! A Brussels Future Music Festival 
2nd Edition - 30, 31 March & 1 April 2017

After a successful first edition in 2016, attended by thousands of people, spanning several iconic venues in the city and featuring live acts, DJ sets, inspirational talks and a record fair, “Listen! A Brussels Future Music Festival” returns on 30, 31 March and 1 April for its second edition in Brussels, the heart of Europe.

Listen! focuses on electronic music and innovation.
The second edition will take place on 3 days with an even more ambitious program that aims to be part of a global movement built on diversity and creativity, in a passionate and professional context.

Thanks to its diverse, qualitative and accessible program, it enables the Belgian scene to interact with the music industry and join the conversation about its future by offering record fairs, conferences, workshops, internet radio and so much more. The program allows visitors to emerge in a balanced out mix of local, national and international artists, while it offers the artist themselves a setting where the past, present and future of music culture come together.

Listen! 3 days on different locations in Brussels.
Opening on Thursday with a concert in the notorious Studio4 at Flagey, Listen! spans over 3 days, invites the best party promoters to promote the culture of electronic music in the capital and proposes an urban trail through the city partnering with more than 20 organizations and major venues: Square Brussels Meeting Centre, AB, Beursschouwburg, ING Art Center, Épicerie Moderne, Bonnefooi, Maison du Peuple, Bar du Marché, Belga, Jalousy…

On Friday evening a series of documentaries on electronic music culture will be shown at Cinéma Vendôme. The evening program focuses on diversity in electronic hip hop, bass and soulful curated by Lefto Presents, Strictly Niceness and Tangram Records at Square Brussels Meeting Centre.

Saturday is the culmination of the whole weekend with a day and night program at Square Brussels Meeting Centre. During the day visitors can attend a record fair and a conference with inspirational talks, master classes and workshops. At night Listen! proposes 3 rooms with each a different take on the most interesting evolutions in house, techno, disco & beyond, where you can discover numerous of the best Belgian and international live acts and DJ sets.

Listen! … To the radio. Meeting Point and Online Radio.
From 10 March until 1 April, 3 weekends before Listen! and the weekend of the festival, the 
ING Art Center at Place Royal accommodates the Meeting Point of Listen! with a radio station and a bar. The public will be able to access the first floor for the first time ever to enjoy exclusive radio broadcasts consisting of interviews, debates and DJ sets by Belgian artists. The Meeting Point will be open from Thursday to Saturday, from 7PM until 1AM.

Listen! in the future?
As a city festival Listen! wants to grow with its partners and aims to be the yearly rendez-vous for all music lovers: the meeting point for up and coming artists, professionals, passionates and the big public in the center of Europe.
