Dedicated to contemporary creation, the Museum of Contemporary Arts of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (MACS) is situated in the heart of the site of the former colliery of Grand-Hornu, a jewel of Belgian industrial architecture.
The MACS stages three major exhibitions each year (monographs or thematic) with big names from the Belgian and international contemporary art world. The MACS also regularly provides a showcase for young Belgian creation.
With its ambitious vocation to raise the awareness of the widest possible audience to contemporary art, the cultural mission of the MACS is defined through three main areas: forming a collection, programming exhibitions and organising cultural activities for all audiences.
Open to a wide range of genres and disciplines, the MACS focuses its attention both on traditional forms of artistic practices (painting, sculpture, etc.) and its modern (photography, installation, etc.) and contemporary avatars (video, multimedia, etc.).
Supported by a major cultural activities department, the Museum’s mission goes hand-in-hand with an "education in looking".

Le Musée des Arts Contemporains du Grand-Hornu accueille Daniel Turner pour sa première exposition muséale en Belgique consacrée à l'ancienne prison de Forest.
Daniel Turner expose au musée du Grand-Hornu
Né en 1983, Daniel Turner a consacré les 10 dernières années de sa carrière à la récupération et réappropriation d’infrastructures diverses. Il prélève sur des sites spécifiques des matériaux, des équipements et des résidus laissés par les personnes qui les ont occupés, qu’il transforme pour invoquer l’esprit du lieu.
Pour sa première exposition muséale en Belgique, l'artiste américain s’est intéressé à un site particulièrement symbolique : l’ancienne prison de la commune bruxelloise de Forest.
À la suite de sa fermeture en 2022, Turner a entrepris de documenter la prison, réalisant des enregistrements sur le terrain et collectant divers matériaux en résonance avec l’atmosphère carcérale.
L’œuvre contemporaine cherche à éveiller des réactions psychologiques vives, tout en faisant preuve d’une grande économie de moyens.
Une réflexion sur l'influence des environnements sur nos expériences, à découvrir au Grand-Hornu.
