Le Sacre de la Matière

L’Ancienne Nonciature is an iconic cultural landmark and the 19th century embassy of the Vatican in Brussels; now, it has also become a “place to be” for the art scene as a “new embassy of the Arts.” Spazio Nobile is holding its rst “beyond the walls” exhibition at the invitation of the hosts-owners and creators Anne Derasse and Jörg Bräuer, who are also actively involved into the exhibition. Lise Coirier and Gian Giuseppe Simeone, founders of Spazio Nobile and art historians themselves, accentuate with them and Le Sacre de la Matière their shared philo- sophy and culture of the authenticity, the contemporary applied arts rooted in experimentation and craftmanship, and the nobility of natural materials that patinate with the passage of time.
