ARTBRUSSELS: Final review
[youtube]2f2u_DFY96A[/youtube]
The 25th edition of artbrussels closed its doors this Monday with no less than 31,497 visitors (20% more). Collectors, curators, exhibitors, visitors and press alike are unanimous: this edition was a great success on all levels and confirms the place of artbrussels as the number one contemporary ‘cutting edge’ art fair in Europe.
Starting with the Vernissage frenzy on Thursday, the fair has attracted a growing number of art lovers over the 5 days. Combining quality, conferences and debates, exhibitions, private visits and numerous dinners and parties, artbrussels was once again the European platform for contemporary art.
As you can see at the top of this post, after having followed the fair with great interest, we prepared a little video interviewing randomly four galleries (two Belgians, two from abroad). We asked them about their impression about the fair and other general topics.
We also attended some conferences and got quite interested about the one related to proposals for a Biennial here in Brussels. It seems it isn't yet a quite mature idea, but it is taking form little by little and it is creating a debate. We already opened it through the different interviews we did at the fair and would like to provide here a space for the discussion. So if you have any opinion about it just leave a comment or just go to our forum and start the discussion: What would be your ideal Biennial? Should it be done?
We would like to thank to the different galleries that very kindly accepted our proposal for a little interview. This galleries are:
Hoet Bekaert Gallery (Gent)
Vacío 9 (Madrid)
Also we would like to thank specially to Gerrie Soetaert, for helping us so much in the development of ur different reviews of artbrussels.
