On Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1, Home Frit' Home and its Micro Belgian Fries Museum Brussels will open their doors free of charge. A chance to explore the offbeat world of Belgian Fritkot Culture, to watch the remarkable “Fritland”, and to (re)discover “Quotidiens singuliers”, Alfred Michel Fabry's exhibition, in which oil paintings and pencil drawings reveal, with humour, tenderness and a pinch of salt, the poetic strangeness of ordinary things.

Micro Belgian Fries Museum Brussels: closer to you, my fry

Through a singular collection of more than 1,036 objects, documents, creations and artworks, the Micro Belgian Fries Museum Brussels tells both the grand and small history of Belgian fries, the fritkot, and a popular culture deeply rooted in everyday life. Here, fries can be looked at and talked about – in French, Flemish and German – and they do not take themselves unnecessarily seriously.

Alfred Michel Fabry's “Quotidiens singuliers” exhibition: a treat for the optic nerve

These open days are also an opportunity to immerse yourself in Alfred Michel Fabry's exhibition “Quotidiens singuliers”. The artist brings together his first exhibited oil paintings and a series of pencil drawings: at times tender, funny and gently biting. Families, characters and everyday scenes take a subtle step sideways, tipping ordinary life into the strange, moving or comical.

“Fritland”, a fritkot road movie in Super 8

Finally, these open days will offer the opportunity to see “Fritland”, a gem of fries-related cinema directed by Yves Warson and Gilles Houben. Filmed in Super 8 in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this genuine Belgian road movie tracks down and strips bare chip stalls, their fry makers and regulars. It is a rare, lively and deliciously free document, bringing back an era, landscapes and a whole popular imagination built around the fritkot.

A free weekend where contemporary art, rare and precious Super 8 cinema, and Fritkot Culture meet without ceremony, in the warm, curious and slightly offbeat spirit of Home Frit' Home.
