Somewhere deep inside the asshole of performance-artist Simon Van Schuylenbergh you will recently find a brand new cultural hub called ‘Anal Pompidou’. If you open-up a little more and go even deeper, the topics go further and the performances are wilder, there might be some audience participation of the worst kind, alongside an artisanale bakery and a weird collaboration with the quartier. Here you can poo, here you can pee and here you can do. It's a bottom-up initiative, and it's there for you.

'Perrrrrrformance Arrrt'
Symbolic money meets transparancy
Expect D.I.Y. special effects, meets homosexual desires, meets institutional-diharria, meets you, the audience in the intimacy of the moment.
While plenty of underground spaces and art institutions are serving as the breeding ground for gentrification projects in neighbourhoods such as Molenbeek, Anderlecht and Schaarbeek, ANAL Pompidou has the desire to gentrify the center of Brussels in the opposite direction. With this Bottom-up initiative, specialised in D.I.Y.trash, ANAL POMPIDOU hopes soon the rents will go down in Louise, Dansaert, Petite Sablon, Grand Sablon, in front of the European parliament and in the whole municipality of Uccle.
ANAL POMPIDOU serves you with pleasure a parody of power with a mix of physical performance art & deep cabaret. Hopefully Brussels will have formed a government by then, let’s see
“I am so high on art, but I am so low on money, high meets low, low meets high, where am I?”
