Mechelen
Mechelen (locally pronounced [ˈmɛ.x̟ə.l̪ə(n̪)] ( ), French Malines, traditional English Mechlin) is a city and municipality in the province of Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium. The municipality comprises the city of Mechelen proper, some quarters at its outskirts, the hamlets of Nekkerspoel (adjacent) and Battel (a few kilometers away), as well as the villages of Walem, Heffen, Leest, Hombeek, and Muizen. The Dijle flows through the city, hence it is often referred to as the Dijlestad (City on the river Dijle).
Mechelen lies on the major urban and industrial axis Brussels-Antwerp, about 25 km from each city. Inhabitants find employment at Mechelen's southern industrial and northern office estates, as well as at offices or industry near the capital and Zaventem Airport, or at industrial plants near Antwerp's seaport.

Razstava Umetnost me je obranila zapora/Art kept me out of jail predstavlja tri performativne instalacije priznanega belgijskega umetnika Jana Fabra. Do sedaj je bila razstava na ogled v Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst v Antwerpnu (2010) in v Muzeum Sztuki v poljskem Łodzu (2011).
Naslov razstave je povzet po štiriurnem performansu Umetnost me je obranila zapora, ki ga je Jan Fabre izvedel v okviru pregledne samostojne razstave Angel preobrazbe (L'ange de la métamorphose) v pariškem Louvru leta 2008. Inspiracijo za performans predstavlja francoski zločinec Jacques Mesrine, znan po svojih številnih pobegih iz francoskih zaporov. Na razstavi v UGM bo Jan Fabre predstavil tri instalacije, ki dokumentirajo perfomanse - Umetnost me je obranila zapora (2008), Virgin/Warrior (2004) in Sanguis/Mantis (2001) - skupaj z deli na papirju, fotografijami in skulpturo Fabre/Mesrine. Razstava nudi edinstveno priložnost za ogled performansa Virgin/Warrior, skupno delo Jana Fabra in Marine Abramović, izvedenega v pariškem Palais de Tokyo. Umetnika sta oblečena v viteška oklepa ose (Abramovićeva v vlogi device) in hrošča rogača (Fabre v vlogi bojevnika). Zaprta v stekleni kletki izvajata performans s 26 dejanji (npr. udarjanje po oklepu, dihanje, zavzemanje poze insekta, nošenje drug drugega, odstranjevanje čelad, zarezovanje v roke, držanje srca v rokah ... ).
Jan Fabre je umetnik-raziskovalec, ki raziskuje meje telesa, zavesti in domišljije. Je hkraten (consilience) umetnik v iskanju prostora za združevanje izkušenj različnih disciplin.
