“For 8 evenings, the city center of Mons will be enhanced with art and light thanks to a fascinating itinerary which has been designed to accommodate 26 installations and light projections carefully designed and which will integrate harmoniously into the urban setting and the architecture of the historic center. Accessible to all and completely free, the course highlights local, national and international talents.”
Even if we don’t want to spoil it for you and spoil the surprise, we can still give you some clues about the fabulous XXL-sized show to discover. You will have the opportunity to discover a special tour on surrealism since it is 100 years of this artistic movement very strong in Belgium. “For the 100th anniversary of surrealism, the 3km route will have surrealism and poetry as its common thread. Among the participants, the festival will include a guest star: the British artist Robert Montgomery. He creates poems on billboards, light works, poems about fire, wood engravings, paintings and watercolors. His works for Mons en Lumières will echo not only the voices of Belgian surrealist poets, but also the particular typography and architecture of the city.“
