1976 - «Artistieke Safari» op Château Malou

In 1976, a press article (unreferenced newspaper) described the "Artistic Safari" devised by Mon De Rijck, with the help of the Tervuren Museum, to enliven the Château Malou gallery in Woluwe: a black curtain, a terracotta colonial helmet, the gloom of a mock jungle, lianas, vaults of green plants, animal silhouettes and chirping sounds. Visitors are invited "to hunt for the paintings, drawings and prints they would like to take home".

The article lists the exhibiting artists - César Bailleux, Bestgen, Brenta, Camille De Taeye, Cyrus Dubray, Grosemans, Alain Lambillotte, Mari, Luc Mondry, J.M. Navez, Christian Rolet, Vincent Strebelle, Olivier Leloup, Lionel Vinche and others - and recalls the lending gallery's principle: for a 250 F registration fee and a monthly "rent" of 100 F per work, borrowers can leave with a parcel under their arm. "For a long time, says Mon De Rijck, people have rented books. Since 1972, they have rented records. Since 1972, at Château Malou, it has been possible to rent paintings and prints."
