Bourse, February 1984 (within the framework of a series called The cultural capitals of Europe). The various projects date from 1983 : Film : On top of the stairs of the Bourse in Brussels and right across its main entrance, a large horizontal rectangular sheet of glass is placed. Ph. Van Snick divides the plane in two through a vertical line. Next, in the left part he adds, using gold-colored spray paint, the letters Au (for Aurum / gold) and in the right part, using silver-colored spray paint, he adds the letters Ar (for Argentum / silver). Subsequently he spray-paints the entire left plane gold and the entire right plane silver. Finally he pushes the sheet of glass down the stairs, shattering it into golden and silver splinters. There are photographs of the process + various sketches [Archive Ph.V.S., Brussels]
