> 15/09 Comics Art Museum Gipi (Gianni Alfonso Pacinotti), born in Pisa in 1963, produces illustrations for publishers and for the Italian press. In 2006, he broke through with his graphic novel Notes for a War Story, winning the prize for the best comic book at the Angoulême Festival. His comic books, autobiographies, and fiction sensitively explore human relationships. Gipi is a realist in terms of substance and an expressionist in terms of form. www.cbbd.be
> 30/09 - Various locations Launched in 2014 by four friends, in association with Visit Brussels, this project provides deckchairs and a bar at four tourist information centres (housed in old Belgian army containers) in key Brussels locations: the Avenue Louise, Place Poelaert, the Mont des Arts, and at the Atomium. City residents are also welcome to use the deckchairs – for their lunch break, for example – and, ideally, to chat to the tourists. The project also involves concerts and activities at the weekends. www.facebook .com/coucoubrussels
