In March 2011, fourteen international contemporary artists were invited to Charleroi for a research period and stayed in the apartments of Le Vecteur and Théatre de l’Ancre. They came back in July to realise interventions in public space with the help of BPS22 and the BMUKK.

Anna Witt // Thomas Verstraeten // Hannes Zebedin // Sven ‘t Jolle // Katrin Hornek // Manfred Pernice
 // Antoine Turillon // Hans Schabus // Johanna Tinzl & Stefan Flunger // Baptiste Elbaz // Annabel Lange
 // Adrien Tirtiaux // Jasper de Pagie

The resulting exhibition was called LE CHANT DES POSSIBLES. The following pictures and videos document the interventions that took place. A booklet introducing the intentions of the artists can be downloaded here.
