Today I went to Brussels with Frederik and Alexander to visit the exhibition of Francis Alÿs at Wiels. Francis Alÿs is born as Francis De Smedt, who lives and works for more then 20 years in Mexico. His works give a (sometimes critical) chronic on the Latin-American streetlife and culture.
I liked the exhibition very much, I particullary liked his movies, and more in particular the fact that he managed to find a balance in his esthetic and social message. Art can not change the world but it can make you start thikning on several subjects.
