ABOUT
THE ANCIENT NUNCIATURE
This elegant mansion, formerly the "Vatican Embassy" in Brussels, located opposite the Church of Our Lady of Sablon, has been given a new identity as the "Embassy of the Arts." Anne Derasse, an interior architect and art historian, meticulously restored it over many years with perseverance and sensitivity. She established her offices for "Interior Architecture, Arts & Heritage" here and makes the ceremonial salons and the majestic grand staircase available for select art-related events.
This new life given to the architecture is further enriched by the artistic vision of her partner, the artist Jörg Bräuer. Together, they breathe new life into this iconic venue by creating in situ exhibitions inspired by their vision, making it a cherished stop on the art scene. A unique alchemy has emerged at the crossroads of centuries: the craftsmanship of heritage resonates with the works of contemporary artists or the echoes of ancient cultures.
ARTISTS: Jörg Bräuer, Jean-Philippe Duboscq, Dom Gray, Philippe Pasqua.

The Ancient Nunciature is hosting the Frédérick Mouraux Gallery for this edition of B.A.S. 2024. This collaboration has given rise to a new exhibition with an evocative title: "Éloge du Temps" ("In Praise of Time"), inviting new discoveries that bridge the history of the venue with the contemporary works of four artists from the Frédérick Mouraux Gallery: Jörg Bräuer, Jean-Philippe Duboscq, Dom Gray, and Philippe Pasqua. Time carries within it the genesis of perpetual change; the exploration of this concept is endless and opens up multiple philosophical reflections, both universal and individual.
