"Éditions du tiroir", a new publishing structure for comic books, was born from the will of three passionate people active in the cultural field. Christian Lallemand: For 27 years, he managed the financial aspects of copyright within the SACD/Scam and actively participated in the global management of the company. This allowed him to work with many authors and creators, mainly in the fields of comics and animation. This did not prevent him from escaping regularly by working on artistic projects close to his heart. Pierre Daisomont : Business manager, passionate about comics, he founded several groups and collectives around comics. André Taymans : 30 years of comics as an author, more than 40 albums to his credit and a solid experience in the publishing world. Éditions du tiroir wishes to offer comic book authors a creative space based on a new economic model of financing. Indeed, at a time when the status of the author seems to be more and more precarious, it seems essential to guarantee to the illustrators and scriptwriters a fair remuneration for their work and the widest possible diffusion of their works. This will require a mixed model of financing including crowdfunding and own funds.

Le Cormier Editions was founded in Brussels in 1949 by Fernand Verhesen (1913-2009). Poet, essayist and translator, Verhesen was also a great discoverer who significantly contributed to making the French-speaking public aware of Spanish and Latin-American poetry.
Also strongly interested in typography, he created and printed it himself on a little printing press – the first Cormier books – and showed, during his life, an equal interest in both the choice of texts, and their physical presentation.
This is a philosophy Le Cormier continues to follow today by only publishing four titles per year, edited and published by devoting the greatest care to the production of the actual book. The catalogue of the house distinguishes itself by a large variety of voices and the refusal of orthodoxy ; loyalty to poets of long-standing next to the spirit of discovery. The reader will find numerous Belgian and French authors, as well as important collections of Latin-American poetry.

Founded in 1971, the ISELP– an institution for the study of visual arts – is a place where contemporary art is approached from different angles which are mutually enriching. This plurality makes a singularity: our activities of demonstration, reflection, research, mediation and publishing all make up the richness of art today.

The ISELP benefits critical discourse concerning contemporary art by offering conferences, projections, discussions, meetings, readings, guided visits, cultural voyages and educational activities. Particular attention is given to the question of art in the public space, by the development of a think tank which leads reflection on the subject, encouraging meetings and offering the public a centre of reference.

Finally, the institute welcomes the main public documentation center of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles for visual arts in the 20^th and 21^st centuries.

Since 1985, our theoretical plastic arts review La Part de l'oeil has kept up with the latest research and investigation concerning the essence of the creative process, with the objective being to fill in the outlines while delineating the features of contemporary Aesthetics. Specifically, we deal with the theoretical vacuum which has surrounded art for years, by testing the discourse through its relationship to the art work which is the base of aesthetic thought. The most important critics, philosophers, artists, academics, writers... contribute every year to the review. A section of each issue is dedicated to approaching the major questions of art from a contemporary prospective. We also publish two collections of books :? Théorie? (essays on art) and ?Diptyque? (artists ?monographies). Our review and books are published in French.
