CURRENT
PICTURE FESTIVAL: ‘THE SWIFT’ EXPO SARAH CHEVEAU – EXTENDED TILL 12/06/2021
Expo The Swift
For her exhibition in the context of the Picture Festival, Maison ABC gave carte blanche to Sarah Cheveau, who decided to collect a few paper cut-out swifts from her latest book (to be released by the beautiful Corraini publishing house in Italy). Original plates, collages and mobiles: the Brussels-based author-illustrator gave free rein to her fascination for the virtuoso flight of these birds and her taste for bright colours.
Signing session and finissage
On Saturday 12 of June Sarah Cheveau will sign her new book.
Since the number of copies is limited we recommend to reserve a book in advance.
To round up the day we invite you to a little finissage.
Welcome!

KAMISHIBAI BRUSSELS CITY OF STORIES
Come and listen to a selection of travel stories out of the international collection of ABC.
Stories about travelling in your imagination or about a trip to the moon, about escaping from home and fleeing from a country.
About discovery voyages just around the corner or adventures far away from here.
About travelling stones or houses that move themselves.
An excursion with a balloon, in a sailing boat or a on the back of a mammouth … all is possible!
Are you ready to come with us?
We’re telling stories with our kamishibai-bike on different sites around the ABC house in Schaerbeek.
In the frame of Brussels City of Stories

KAMISHIBAI STEAM STORYTELLING COLLECTION
25 different picture-biography-stories translated in Dutch can be leaned out at ABC with accompanying materials on personal choice. The themes cover a wide range of science subjects like mathematics, technology, nature study, microbiology, physic, chemistry and architecture. The collection includes stories from Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Ibn Sina, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Ada Byron Lovelace, Mary Anning, Maria Sibylla Merian, the Wright brothers, Albert Einstein, Wilson Bentley, Fibonacci, Filippo Brunelleschi, Antoni Gaudi, Zaha Hadid and Jane Goodall.
Telling this stories complementary to teaching science in school lessons or workshops gives young students the opportunity to get insights into the lives and work of important science personalities, to connect with their passion and hunger of knowledge and to be in this way more interested in the content of the teaching subjects.
“Bring Art and Science back together, it was a time when the same people wrote poetry and build bridges.” Eric Schmidt
ABC-HOUSE STUDIO VISUAL MUSIC
New to the ABC-house ABC – STUDIO VISUAL MUSIC
The interaction between music and image is one of the most fascinating relationships in the arts. Numerous experiments and installations by avant-garde and contemporary artists show interdisciplinary approaches to music and sound with color, light, film, acoustics and digital technology.
In this studio you will be able to listen to paintings by Kandinsky, Klee, Mondrian or Rothko or enjoy musical Kamishibai stories such as The Town Musicians of Bremen or Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Composing, improvising or making your own songs is central, but the connections with drama, dance, design, architecture and sciences are also on the agenda. These may include drawing or painting music, designing record covers or graphic scores, creating sound figures or inventing sound poems yourself.
In our workshops you can build music machines or instruments, record the sounds for movie scenes or go on a listening walk in the garden to discover the sounds of nature.
An extensive collection of reference materials, books, web links, experimental films and video clips underscore the experience.
But the most important thing remains the pleasure of making music yourself and the wonder of looking with your ears and listening with your eyes.
Starting January 2020
For schools, families, students, teachers and all other interested parties.

ARTS & EDUCATION
What can education learn from the arts about the practice of education? Elliot W. Eisner argues that the distinctive forms of thinking needed to create artistically crafted work are relevant not only to what students do, they are relevant to virtually all aspects of what we do, from the design of curricula, to the practice of teaching, to the features of the environment in which students and teachers live. Originally given as the John Dewey Lecture for 2002, Stanford University. Read more … WikiPedia …
Wat kan het onderwijs van de kunsten leren ? Elliot W. Eisner stelt dat de specifieke denkvormen die vereist zijn voor het creëren van kunstwerken niet alleen van belang zijn voor wat leerlingen doen, maar voor nagenoeg alles wat we doen, van het vormgeven van curricula, het onderwijzen zelf, tot het ontwerpen van de omgevingen waarin leerlingen en leraars leven. Origineel uitgesproken in 2002 als John Dewey Lecture aan de universiteit van Stanford. Lees meer … WikiPedia …
