29th September - 26th February 2012: - Sick in Bruges (Nowadays, medical science is advancing at a rapid rate, but this is not the way it has always been. In centuries gone by, doctors, surgeons, nurses and apothecaries struggled to do their best with the limited means at their disposal to improve the lot of their fellow man, by curing the sick where they could or by offering a gentle and pain-free death to those who were beyond help. The age of herbal remedies, the cruel torments of the plague, and the veneration of the so-called 'healer' saints are all vividly brought back to life in the old wards of the medieval Sint-Jan Hospital.) 5th October - 15th January 2012: - Imperial treasures (masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna / Vienna has agreed to lend an outstanding selection of 54 top works, all dating from the 15th and 16th centuries and all originating from the Southern Netherlands. Their artistic merit is unparalleled. For a period of three months paintings by Jan van Eyck, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, Gerard David, Michiel Sittow, Juan de Flandes, Jan Gossaert, Joos van Cleve, Joachim Patinir, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and other masters will supplement the already impressive collection of the Groeninge Museum in Bruges.) 14th January - 29th January 2012: - Denis De Gloire (For over ten years, Denis de Gloire, wandering about in his atelier in Waregem, Belgium, has been working on a impressive hommage to Jackson Pollock who was born on the 28 th of January 1912 in Cody (Wyoming) and who passed away in New York 1956. After such a long period and passion for his subject, it seems as De Gloire has become the incarnation of Pollock, holding and moving his paintpalet, sharing and feeling the same shades of colour the man he most inspires did before him.)
