1976 - Le Soir: «Il safari artistico del Castello di Malou»

In December 1976, Le Soir devoted an article in its Culture section to the Artistic Safari, signed with the initials D. G.: "Since it is said that people get bored at art exhibitions, the Château Malou artwork lending gallery has just devised a hanging formula that some will find original: an artistic safari." The visitor becomes an "art hunter", greeted by a few African animals borrowed from the Tervuren Museum, a mini-jungle at the entrance and a soundscape of roaring beasts and chirping birds.

The article lists some eight hundred works, none exceeding 7,000 francs "according to the gallery's democratic principle", and names among the "familiar names of a young and rising generation" Christian Rolet, César Bailleux (sculpted forms), Erik Leloup (mini-sculpture), Vincent Strebelle (jewel bicycles), gouaches and watercolours by Luc Mondry and Arthur Grosemans, engravings and drawings by Roland Delcol, drawings and silkscreens by Lionel Vinche - "a multi-art hanging that has the merit of maintaining a certain quality".

The photo illustrates the display: "Artworks in a makeshift jungle". A practical note gives the address and opening hours: Château Malou, 45 chaussée de Stockel, from 2 to 7 pm, until 6 January.
