Firefly...
Firefly is a workplace, run for and by artists, which takes Places of Existence as the starting point for the production of artistic creations in widely varying forms.
The Stone Road
The N6, better known as the “Bergense Steenweg”, links Brussels with Bergen; the city centre with the suburbs. This busy traffic artery cuts unpredictably through the landscape, giving a rapidly alternating view of outlandishly unorganised architecture, traces of industrial decline, desolate areas of no-man’s-land, run down discotheques and cheap mega stores. Sometimes tired, then lonely, them bustling with life, it cuts a straight line through Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia and penetrates the Belgian language barriers of Flemish and French. Orla Barry (IE), Els Dietvorst (B), Wim Cuyvers (B), Johanna Kirsch (AT), Nikolaus Gansterer (AT) form a temporary collective of artists from several disciplines who were formed to research this phenomenon which is so typical of the Belgian and now of the universal urban landscape. An ignored traffic ridden space.
