Brussels museums are packed with unique and extraordinary items.
From works by Magritte, Panamarenko to Rembrandt, from Bernissart iguanodons, a Congolese nail fetish to precious rattles, the 100 treasures featured in this book are all part of the permanent collections housed in 41 Brussels museums. They have been selected in the light of their historical importance, conservation status, uniqueness or rarity.
In line with the approach adopted by the authors, each item is accompanied by a description, a context and an anecdote.
To this very day masks capture the imagination: where does one's identity stop and a transformation start to take place when someone puts on a mask, how do we deal with old symbolic and mythical meanings, when do we create new ways of defining ourselves, what is accepted and where does controversy start? Again and again, POWERMASK calls into question the border between tradition and renewal, between uncovering and covering up, thereby connecting past and present across different cultures.
Ever since his first collections from the 1980s, Belgian fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck has been intrigued by masks. In this exhibition and its accompanying catalogue POWERMASK, his personal fascination for masks and their impact on a person's identify translates into a particular and varied view of the phenomenon of masks. He also examines the role of the mask in the work of visual artists, photographers, and fashion designers.

Erotique Chic is vintage architectural porn: sneaking peeks into private pearls that stir the erotic imagination. Where residents are characters in their own screenplays. A sexy book on interiors featuring glamorous, cinematic homes from the sixties and seventies. A suggestive architectural peepshow.
Erotique Chic is James Bond meets Serge Gainsbourg. 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Bilitis. Bad Guy meets Bad Taste. Or simply call it architectural lingerie: just subtle enough to still be seductive and just spicy enough to get you in the mood. Your place or mine?
