The 76.4 project, led by the non-profit organisation Coupé Décalé, is a multidisciplinary initiative that brings the arts into dialogue with research in anthropology.
“76.4” supports the creation and presentation of work by visual artists and performers, while fostering exchanges with researchers in anthropology. These encounters take the form of talks, discussions, or workshops, and unfold through thematic cycles developed over time.
The project builds connections between different approaches, ways of thinking, and artistic practices, and links a range of cultural spaces across the Brussels scene: art centres, artists’ studios, choreographic centres, social institutions, bookshops, schools, and gardens…
But 76.4 is also an exhibition space…
“A display window located on Rue de Bosnie in Saint-Gilles.
Its depth is 76.4 cm.
Its height and length are 3 m. The back is a wooden surface.
The front side is a window facing the street.
Think of it as a tangential interface,
Like a cube,
Like a stage,
Like an exhibition,
Like a display window.
Like the frontal face of things.”
Located in Saint-Gilles, at 24 Rue de Bosnie, it is a space for dialogue: a kind of interface between private and public space, between inside and outside, between artists and passers-by.
Initiated in 2016 by artists Michel François, Ekaterina Kaplunova, Juan Pablo Plazas and Richard Venlet, the programming of “76.4” for the coming seasons has been entrusted to Justine François. Under her direction, the space further develops its lines of research and creation, strengthening connections with the choreographic scene as well as with the fields of social science research.
