Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

William Kentridge on the Performative Nature of his Work
Q: What informs your approach to making work without a fixed script or storyboard?
The work grows out of a collaborative, improvisational process where initial images and lines of text are tested in workshops, and only later do eight or so elements begin to define a possible structure, keeping space for discovery and mistake.
Bonus Aflevering
Q: Why does Bozar organize an exhibition of Sophie Tauber Arp and Jean-Hans Arp? What does that mean?
The host explains that the collaboration mirrors a broader post-war surge of modernism in Brussels, highlighting Arp and Tauber Arp as central figures whose works and exchange with local galleries helped shape the Bozar program and Brussels' art scene.
Gabriel Zucman sur l’exil fiscal
Q: Comment rendre compatible la taxation minimale avec l'économie et les incitations à l'innovation?
En fixant un taux minimum raisonnable, 2% du patrimoine, exprimé légalement et appliqué de manière coordonnée, tout en évitant des punitive measures qui découragent l'investissement; l'idée est d'équilibrer justice fiscale et dynamique économique.
Gabriel Zucman sur l’exil fiscal
Q: Est-ce que c'est une vraie menace que l'exil fiscal soit utilisé pour éviter les impôts en Belgique et ailleurs?
Oui, mais ce n'est pas une fatalité: l'exil fiscal peut être un choix politique et peut être contrecarré par des dispositifs comme un bouclier anti-exil et des accords internationaux, tout en reconnaissant que les flux d'exil ne sont pas massifs.
Beauty, love & power: Christelle Oyiri & Martha Da’ro
Q: And I was wondering, what do those words mean to y'all, beauty, love and power? What do they bring up?
Beauty is seen as a privilege that often translates into social visibility and access to relationships and opportunities, while love and power are connected through vulnerability and the capacity to influence or dissolve boundaries between people. The discussion acknowledges both empowering and disempowering aspects depending on cultural and historical contexts.
