Brussels Gallery Weekend starts on Thursday and runs until Sunday 10 September. Brussels will be buzzing with exhibitions, screenings, book signings, talks and much more. For this edition, don’t miss any of the 45 participating galleries nor the D’Ieteren Headquarters emerging as a new meeting point, housing the Generation Brussels exhibition and spotlighting projects by Globe Aroma, Ateliers Indigo, and Stockmans Art Books.
And there’s more – make sure to keep the OFF Program on your radar, alongside a multitude of activities within the galleries : Join Richard Tuttle book presentation at Greta Meert, catch the screening of Tania Libre at CINEMA Palace in collaboration with Waldburger Wouters, discover the artistic practice of Adrien Lucca during an artist talk at LMNO, embark on guided tours led by gallerists and artists, accompanied by a refreshing glass of Duvel at Harlan Levey Projects, CLEARING & Montoro 12, and countless other engaging experiences that await.
The 2023 exhibition of Generation Brussels, Cet obscur objet du désir, is curated by the art critic/ curator Sam Steverlynck and is entitled after the surrealist cinematographer Luis Buñuel’s eponymous masterpiece from 1977. Organized by a different curator every year since 2018, the ‘Generation Brussels’ exhibition aims to highlight young artist not yet represented by galleries.
Brussels Gallery Weekend is an event organized by the non-profit organization Brussels Art Days, which promotes the contemporary art scene in Brussels. It is considered as a major European event kicking off Brussels’ art season every September. During the event, more than forty galleries, together with non-profit and institutional art spaces, open their doors to a wide public and showcase Brussels’ rich contemporary art scene.
