A creative interlude outside the boundaries of time, a dialogue between Belgium's architectural heritage and contemporary art and design, the fruit of a moment spent with Victor Horta.

How to be inspired by Victor Horta without doing a Horta? The artists of BeCraft take a contemporary look at the great work of the Belgian architect who was a driving force in one of the most important trends of modern art. His home and studio, both shrines to Art Nouveau at its peak, still house a large part of his work. They contain plenty to impress but also inspire contemporary artists; by working in Horta’s footsteps, they also symbolically become part of history.
It is no easy matter to embrace such an impressive, almost sacred, body of work. Yet Victor Horta has invited the artists of BeCraft to do just that, as part of a unique cooperation project.
This project in cooperation with the Horta Museum follows on from an initiative started by BeCraft in 2015. For the third time, the non-profit association will work with a major museum on a project based on the following concept: The artists belonging to the association will take their inspiration from the collections of a museum to create some original contemporary work. The main goals are to encourage the sharing of knowledge in the field of Art and Design and to raise general awareness of current artistic professions and their artistic and social impact. The first to engage in this concept was the Photography Museum in Charleroi and the experience was repeated in 2017 with La Piscine in Roubaix.
