Nic van Bruggen was a Flemish poet, publicist, art critic, sports journalist, advertising copywriter and visual artist. 

Mattraken sabbat is, at the beginning, an exhibition set up by Nic van Bruggen together with Antwerp provo leader Koen Calliauw. It was held at VECU - a private club founded in 1961 created to boost artistic life in Antwerp. Its goal was to depict the often rough handling of the police, and it caused a stir. The police did what was expected of them, invading the VECU and closing the exhibition. Thereupon, in 1968, Van Bruggen publishes the pamphlet Matrakken-sabbat.
