ART in motion 36 Nonciature has announced it will host two exhibitions. Organized by Galerie Serge Schoffel, a Brussels gallerist and resident, Les bois qui murmurent. La grande Statuaire Lobi (Whispering Woods: The Great Statuary of the Lobi) will feature sculptures created by the Lobi people of Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire intended to allow communication with the supernatural entities that pervade their environment. The second exhibition will focus on the traditional statuary of the Mande region, an art form centered around the representation of the human figure, whether it be in terracotta, wood, or metal. Finally, the fourth edition of ArtCoinnoisseurs, a series of meetings centering around the aesthetics and knowledge of art, will headline the cultural programming with two conferences dedicated to Asian art. It should be added that in this new form, Cultures has inherited the values of quality and sharing that have so defined the three events that gave rise to it while casting aside the unpronounceable acronyms that have also distinguished them. This is a true boon for all art lovers. ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT Shield. Iban Dayak, Borneo, Indonesia. Early 20th century. Wood. Galerie Patrick and Ondine Mestdagh. Mask.

The three art events that have long been cornerstones of the early summer in Brussels—The Brussels Non-European Art Fair (BRUNEAF), The Brussels Ancient Art Fair, and Asian Art in Brussels—are finally fusing into a single event under the unifying title Cultures: The World Arts Fair. Lasting five days, from June 8–12, boundaries of time, space, culture, and expression will be abandoned in the Sablon neighborhood, which will become a babel of art. Sixtyseven galleries specializing in tribal art, archeological artifacts, and Asian art will fulfill the expectations of an international audience with presentations of rigorously selected artworks. Cultural offerings go beyond the galleries. Ancienne
