Our interest for working in public space was concretized in 2011. In March, we invited a dozen of artists to propose a project in the city centre, focussing on the dead spaces created by modernist infrastructures. In July, HOTEL CHARLEROI moved in the contemporary art centre BPS22, which was closed for administrative reasons. The projects proposed by the March artists were realised within LE CHANT DES POSSIBLES, an exhibition throughout the city, and some 20 additional artists came to Charleroi for short residencies.
