Since its opening in the notorious Molenbeek district of Brussels only four years ago, MIMA, short for Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art, has not only gained a rightful place in the city’s arts scene, but helped to somewhat crank up the deprived neighbourhood’s dodgy reputation. Specifically highlighting the creative output of a young and forward demographic, its exhibitions often reflect vibrant underground scenes, and pull crowds from across the city and far beyond to its doorstep. Opening on Fri – Jun 24 is a show entitled Invader Rubikcubist which presents a body of work by French urban artist Invader, and more specifically, artworks related to Rubikcubism, a term he coined in 2005 and which refers to his studio work around the iconic Rubik’s Cube, the famous coloured cube puzzle he used to create paintings and sculptures. Visitors can view more than a hundred works displayed across four floors of the venue.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
