ISELP

Boulevard de Waterloo, 31 - 1000 Brussels map +32 (0)2 504 80 70

Founded in 1971, the iselp – higher institute for the study of the language of the plastic arts – is a place where contemporary art is approached from various, mutually enriching points of view. This plurality is what makes it different: the monstration, discussion, research, mediation and publishing activities take into account the great wealth of the current art scene. The iselp puts on several exhibitions each year (one-man exhibitions by national and international artists, group or themed exhibitions), which follow the topical relevance of contemporary creative work by giving priority to young Belgian artists. At the same time, the institute is developing an artists’ residency programme that focuses on research, innovation and exchange. The iselp encourages critical debate on contemporary art by offering conferences, screenings, symposiums, meetings, readings, guided tours, cultural trips and educational activities.

The installation revolves around the phenomenon of knots in vibrated granular chains, an effect of random movements caused by the balanced interplay of radiation (sound) and gravity. In physics, granular chains are used as a model to study the behavior of string-like objects such as DNA, RNA, or polymer macro-molecules that often become entangled.

Dvir Gallery

Rue de la Régence, 67 - 1000 Brussels map +32 2 513 69 90

Rue de la Régence is definitely one of the liveliest gallery hubs in Brussels. Also Dvir Gallery from Israel chose this neighbourhood to settle in Brussels, in the space that was previously occupied by Catherine Bastide.
The gallery was established in 1982 by Dvir Intrator, who wanted to promote contemporary Israeli art. In the mid-1990s, the gallery started to represent international artists such as Douglas Gordon and Lawrence Weiner.
Gallery co-director Yotam Shalit-Intrator explained that the decision to expand was a natural progression of the gallery’s activities. After combining their three spaces around Tel Aviv into a five-story building, where the gallery is still housed today, it was time to grow outside of Tel Aviv.

Thu 07 September 14:00

AEROPLASTICS , Mind@Art + The Chapel

Rue Washington, 186 - 1050 Ixelles map +00 32 2 537 22 02

AEROPLASTICS contemporary occupies a peculiar place in the art gallery scene in Brussels. The dichotomy of its unusual exhibition space is a fine expression of the policy Jerome Jacobs is pursuing with Aeroplastics, where the spectacular often rubs shoulders with the intimate, no matter how extreme , though containing some poetry or bizarreness.
Alternating between group and monographic exhibitions, the gallery is confronting established artists with emerging and mid-career ones, giving preference to works that develop their own direct language and offer immediate visual accessibility.
Among the subjects dissected at Aeroplastics, the mechanisms of the artworld and its immediate surroundings occupy an important position, as do the multiple facets of the great "Human Comedy" : sexuality, individual or collective violence, the transformations and limitations of corporality, the excesses of our consumer society. Recently, the gallery has developed its programming even more towards the ever growing ecological issues, the socio-economical stereotypes and the religious volatility.

After having occupied a peculiar space for many years, Aeroplastics has decided to take it to the next level now: They become a nomad art gallery that will occupy exceptional places in Brussels, or elsewhere.
For their first stop, they move into a special place: a former chapel in the heart of the Tenbosch neighbourhood in Brussels.

This new contemporary art space will be opening on April 19th, 2017.

Xavier Hufkens

Rue Saint-Georges, 6 - 1050 Ixelles map 02-639.67.30

Xavier Hufkens is one of the most influential galleries for contemporary art in Europe. When it opened in 1987, Xavier Hufkens concentrated on promising artists at that time, such as Felix-Gonzalez-Torres, Anthony Gormley and Jessica Stockholder. In 1992, its move to a 19th-century house renovated by Robbrecht Daem and Marie-Josée Van Hee coincided with the representation of a selection of established artists. Today, with thirty or so artists of different generations (including Richard Artschwager, Louise Bourgeois, Willem de Kooning, Adam Fuss, and Hans Op de Beeck), Hufkens runs a varied programme of exhibitions with solo exhibitions by the gallery’s artists and group shows and specific projects. The gallery offers a unique combination of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, video and installation work. In 2013, the gallery opened another space on the same street. This new space was designed by Swiss architect Harry Gugger. An eclectic but nonetheless very clear vision underlies all the gallery’s activities.

Place Sainte-Catherine - 1000 Brussels map 02-279 64 35 / 52

Collectors, both Belgian and international, have had a lot to do with the emergence of new museums in Brussels over recent years - a period that has also seen a number of private collections become more accessible to the public. This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the passion of private collectors for contemporary art.

Xavier Hufkens

Rue Saint-Georges, 6 - 1050 Ixelles map 02-639.67.30

Xavier Hufkens is one of the most influential galleries for contemporary art in Europe. When it opened in 1987, Xavier Hufkens concentrated on promising artists at that time, such as Felix-Gonzalez-Torres, Anthony Gormley and Jessica Stockholder. In 1992, its move to a 19th-century house renovated by Robbrecht Daem and Marie-Josée Van Hee coincided with the representation of a selection of established artists. Today, with thirty or so artists of different generations (including Richard Artschwager, Louise Bourgeois, Willem de Kooning, Adam Fuss, and Hans Op de Beeck), Hufkens runs a varied programme of exhibitions with solo exhibitions by the gallery’s artists and group shows and specific projects. The gallery offers a unique combination of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, video and installation work. In 2013, the gallery opened another space on the same street. This new space was designed by Swiss architect Harry Gugger. An eclectic but nonetheless very clear vision underlies all the gallery’s activities.
