About

The Musée d'Art Moderne de Bruxelles invites visitors to experience Brussels Contemporary Pulse, a major performance exhibition running from June 1, 2026, to November 30, 2026. Featuring the visionary work of choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, this exhibition transforms the museum space into a dynamic site of live creative energy. Through a series of weekly live performances and carefully curated fixed installations, the institution investigates the profound interplay between static sculpture and the fluidity of human movement. By anchoring these works within the tradition-defying history of the city's creative underground, the exhibition challenges conventional boundaries between physical matter and temporal art forms. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in this unique dialogue, where the architectural presence of the museum acts as both a canvas and a catalyst for De Keersmaeker’s rigorous, evocative choreographic explorations. This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to witness the evolution of contemporary movement within the heart of Brussels’ vibrant artistic landscape.
