Expo Akay & Olabo: trespassers’ Wonderland

26/01/2018

2018 will be the year of civil disobedience. At least according to the MIMA, which is not the most obedient museum in Brussels at the best of times.

50 years after May 1968, they are planning an exhibition of protest posters from that iconic period. But the iconoclasts are opening the new year with an exhibition/obstacle course by the Swedish urban pirates Akay and Olabo.

Wonderland inducts visitors into their fearless but peaceful art of forceful entry, which takes place on the street, in metro stations, and in abandoned buildings, and combines poetry and humour with eco-consciousness and the awareness that art has the power to wake society up.

This is civil disobedience with an infectiously big smile on its face: artistic resistance at its most disarming.
