MONDE POSSIBLE
Today the Van Eyck Open Studios are beginning. For this occasion Yeb Wiersma asked Thebol Malonga, a sign painter from Brazzaville who she accidentally met in Café Bel Ami in Liège to paint the words Monde Possible* on the biggest window of the Jan van Eyck building; that of the library. This time Thebol didn’t paint his words on the outside looking in, but the other way round, looking out to (fictional) worlds elsewhere. - *When she asked Thebol Malonga for his portfolio he told her he didn’t have one in print, the city itself was his showcase. He took her for a walk along all the shop windows he decorated. The first one they came across upon was a hair dresser’s salon
called: ‘Monde Possible’. So it goes.
