• Der Truc-Troc, 1975: eine Weltpremiere

  On 14 June 1975, Château Malou in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert hosted the first Truc-Troc, an artistic concept imagined by two artists: Charline Mahy and Mon De Rijck. The principle: barter an original artwork for an object or a service - a holiday, a camera, a television, an oriental rug, records... Anything could be accepted, except money.

• Farbe auf Beton

  Mural, "Itinéraire secret d'un point de couleur à travers l'espace" (Secret itinerary of a dot of colour through space), 1978, acrylic on concrete, about 102 sq m, Louvain-en-Woluwe (UCL), Brussels. The work unfolds as a long horizontal band running across the façade and following its structure: the painting does not decorate the wall, it reinterprets its architecture.

  "I owe them everything: my father passed on his creativity to me, my mother the taste for culture," Carl says. It was as a tribute to his artist parents that he chose his name: De Moncharline, a contraction of Mon De Rijck and Charline Mahy.

• Mécénat Démocratique: Kunst für alle

  Even before the Truc-Troc, Charline Mahy and Mon De Rijck were involved in Mécénat Démocratique, a non-profit founded to make art accessible to the general public. Their flyer "Art belongs to you" offered a 25 F support card: by purchasing it, the art lover supported Belgian artists and could receive a painting or sculpture at home.

• Contact Jeunes, März-April 1971: eine Charline-Collage im F.G.T.B.-Magazin

  Issue 2 of Contact Jeunes, the F.G.T.B. monthly for Cadets and Young Trade Unionists, reproduces a full-page collage kindly authorised by Mécénat Démocratique. The family archives identify it as one of Charline Mahy's earliest collages; the magazine itself credits the association and does not name the artist.
