Guillaume Bottazzi has set up his own Maison de Création, located a stone’s throw from Place Brugmann in the Molière district of Brussels. Set in a Beaux-Arts-style building designed by Paul Picquet, this mansion resembles a Maison de Haute Couture, and is listed as a heritage site. Decorated with original works created for the site, the Maison contributes to the city’s appeal. It is located near the Horta Museum, the Maison Hannon and the Marcel Broodthaers Foundation, a district littered with architectural treasures.

From June 19 to 21, the public is invited to immerse itself in the poetic universe of Guillaume Bottazzi’s Maison de Création. The show dives into the effects of neuroaesthetics, a new trend that explores how the built environment can modify our metabolism and behaviour. The aim is to produce chemical effects that help our mental health. These works of art, anchored in our daily lives, reduce our anxiety and feelings of loneliness. Producing dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, the artworks make us happier and healthier.
