Public opening An event adapted to all circumstances Friday 4th, Saturday 5th, Sunday 6th September Press Release 4 from 11am to 7pm This new edition represents a challenge, following a period of confinement and closure of the various cultural venues. The artistic season is therefore even more important this year, and Brussels Gallery Weekend is committed to transforming these few days into an event adapted to the current Brussels Gallery Weekend 10 circumstances and capable of bringing a dynamic to galleries and artists. In numbers 10 In a particular health context, the measures taken by the government are maintained, while allowing the public to alternate between online events and those programmed in the galleries.

It is therefore possible this year to follow the artistic season from home, or to travel and participate in the events The Program 12 offered on site.

Art for all Our Partners 63 The Brussels Gallery Weekend has a strong social vocation, offering various partnerships and collaborations so that art remains accessible to all and responds to the need for cultural democratization. In 2020, two youth houses, L’Avenir and Port’Ouverte are an integral part of this The Team 73 project. Several young people will be able to participate in the event and be accompanied throughout this weekend of cultural activities. The support given to associations remains an equally central issue.

Similarly, BGW Visuals 74 the IRSA, the Royal Institute for the Deaf and Blind will be at the heart of the Generation Brussels project, as the BGW is working on an exhibition of the works of the children of the IRSA created over the last ten years.

Het artistieke seizoen is daarom dit jaar nog belangrijker en Brussels Gallery scene, headed by director Sybille Du Roy. Weekend zet zich in om deze paar dagen om te vormen tot een evenement dat aangepast is aan de huidige omstandigheden en dat in staat is om een dynamiek te brengen in de galerieën en de kunstenaars. In een bepaalde gezondheidscontext worden de maatregelen van de overheid gehandhaafd, terwijl het publiek kan afwisselen tussen online evenementen en de evenementen die in de galerijen worden geprogrammeerd. De nieuwe website biedt dus een groot aantal activiteiten en video’s, volledig verankerd in de digitale wereld. Het is dus mogelijk om dit jaar het artistieke seizoen te volgen vanuit huis, of om te reizen en deel te nemen aan de evenementen die ter plaatse worden aangeboden. Conferenties maken dit jaar helaas geen deel uit van het programma en het ontmoetingspunt in de Vanderborght ruimte is aangepast: verschillende ontmoetingspunten zullen over de hele stad verspreid zijn en het publiek een route door de verschillende wijken van Brussel aanbieden. Een beetje frisse lucht Het project Generation Brussels, geboren in 2018 uit de wens om jonge, opkomende kunstenaars die nog niet in galerijen zijn gepresenteerd, te laten zien, wordt gehandhaafd: het verhuist naar verschillende lokalen in de hoofdstad, van Munt Punt naar de vitrines van Lebeau, via de Galeries Louise en het voormalige BOZAR-loket, allemaal georganiseerd door de Belgische curator Evelyn Simons. Haar internationale ervaring bevordert een meervoudige verankering tussen de winkels en de stedelijke ruimte. Na in 2017 de tentoonstelling «Driftwood, or how we suraced through currents» te hebben geleid in de wijk Exarcheia in Athene, stelt Evelyn Simons een innovatieve en reflexieve reis door de hedendaagse kunst voor door middel van een toe-eigening van de etalages van de stad. Het publiek kan zo het werk van elf kunstenaars uit België en Frankrijk ontdekken. Kunst voor iedereen Het Brussels Gallery Weekend heeft een sterke sociale roeping en biedt verschillende partnerschappen en samenwerkingsverbanden aan zodat kunst voor iedereen toegankelijk blijft en beantwoordt aan de behoefte aan culturele democratisering. In 2020 maken twee jongerenhuizen, L’Avenir en Port’Ouverte, integraal deel uit van dit project.

  • Press Release Curators' Series #5. Bouvard and Pécuchet's Compendious Quest for Beauty
    Press Release Curators’ Series #5. Bouvard and Pécuchet's Compendious Quest for Beauty. Exhibition dates: 05.04.12 – 09.06.12 Opening Reception: 04.04.2012 from 6.30 pm Mark Manders. Figure with Book and Fake Dictionaries 2009. David Roberts Collection, London Chris Sharp and Simone Menegoi are the fifth guest curators invited by D.R.A.F. to be part of the Curators' Series. The title for the exhibition is taken from Gustave Flaubert's last, unfinished novel where two Parisian copyists Bouvard and Pécuchet meet, become dear friends, and stoke each other's curiosity to know the world and its rational, post- Enlightenment ways better. They become autodidacts of a dozen different orders, teaching themselves everything from agriculture to medicine. However, despite their best intellectual intentions, any application of the often contradictory knowledge they recklessly accumulate almost always results in confusion, failure or disaster. Yet success is not entirely elusive. One moment a given principle works, whereas in the next it doesn’t. This in turn leads them to continually cry in vain, Où est la règle? (Where is the rule?), as if the clarity and understanding of the supposedly knowable world promised by the Age of Reason were but a farce. In a time when any one individual can access and amass vast and even arcane stores of information, Flaubert's hapless antiheroes seem to be both prescient harbingers and symbols of our era. Their headlong approach can also be said to implicitly describe a good portion of what takes place in contemporary art today, in which we are faced with an obscure and at times questionable expertise on a bewildering multiplicity of subjects.

  • Oscar Tuazon's
    Oscar Tuazon’s (b. 1975 in Seattle) expansive constructions engage with both exterior and interior spaces; they enter into a dialogue with existing architecture, burst its structures, and create new spaces—visible as well as invisible. His work focuses on, among other things, the subject of physical labor and the developmental process involved in an artwork. This is immediately apparent in his pieces that range between sculpture and architecture, as well as in his choice of materials— oftentimes wood, metal, stone, and concrete. Tuazon’s works combine concepts of Land Art with the principles of Minimalism and post- Minimalism and as such link the conception of something abstract with an actual construction; this is marked by extreme physical challenges in the installation phase as well as by continually shifting spatial conditions. The presentation of Oscar Tuazon’s work in the Museum Ludwig is not being shown in the exhibition spaces but, rather, extends throughout the museum’s entire main staircase. On all four levels, visitors will encounter architectural components of a private residence; on the basement level the lower staircase landing is extended into a type of garage door, an intervention that was realized for the new presentation of the collection Not Yet Titled and now announces the current exhibition. The architectural fragments distributed throughout the staircase represent a counter-argument to the existing museum architecture: private and public, institutional space are contrasted with one another and engage in a direct dialogue. As part of his artistic practice Tuazon investigates the history of art since the late 1960s. The content of his art builds on the work of artists such as Carl Andre, Bruce Nauman, Robert Smithson, and Gordon Matta-Clark, and newly situates the discourse on space, material, and labor in contemporary art.

As part of the avant-garde tradition, the gal- lery sees itself as a link between the artist, the art institutions and the com- mercial art world. Since its founding, the gallery has presented the work of artists who take a social and political stance and operate both inside and outside the established art circuit. The gallery represents twenty seven artists of different generations. dépendance held the first international exhibitions for artists such as Sergej Jensen (2003), Haegue Yang (2004), Michaela Eichwald (2005), Jana Euler (2010) and Peter Wächtler (2013) among others. dépendance was one of the first galleries to open downtown, what later be- came a significant area for young art in Brussels for both commercial and non- profit spaces. As of the 12th of September, 2014 dépendance is operating out of rue du marche aux porcs 4 and 8. The renewed gallery space marks a new phase in the development of dépendance. Gallery artists have been included in international exhibitions such as MoMA, New York (Richard Aldrich and Michaela Eichwald, 2014), Kunsthalle Zurich, Zurich (Jana Euler, 2014), Whitney Museum, New York (Jana Euler, 2013), Documenta 13, Kassel (Thomas Bayrle, Haegue Yang, 2012) the 55th and 54th Venice Biennales (Henrik Olesen, 2013, Oscar Tuazon, Karl Holmqvist, 2011), MoMA PS1, New York (Sergej Jensen, 2011), WIELS, Brussels (Thomas Bayrle, 2013) Kunst Museum Basel (Michaele Eichwald, Nora Schultz, 2013, Henrik Olesen, 2011), Contemporary Art Museum St.

Jack Robins Signed statement of authority of access to copying This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying and communication in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Jack Robins Abstract Through a series of large-scale installations, this project has sought to challenge and reactivate the established logic and institution of the gallery. The installations consisted of constructed interventions comprising abstracted spatial conventions. Focussing on physical aspects of specific gallery spaces, the works aimed to provoke audience members to reassess their physical and psychological positions in relation to the use, history and context of gallery situations. The interrogation of diverse gallery spaces then determined a series of liminal environments in which autonomous sculptural objects and installations were made to exist in dialogue. The project built upon the historical legacy of Minimalism, and took up strategies drawn from the Conceptual Art movement, specifically the work of Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman and Michael Asher.

  • Rat Hole Gallery Is Pleased to Present Sex Booze Weed Speed, a Two
    Rat Hole Gallery is pleased to present Sex Booze Weed Speed, a two-person show of works by Oscar Tuazon and Gardar Eide Einarsson on view from December 17, 2010 until February 20, 2011. For this exhibition, the artists will create a site-specific installation conceived specially for the gallery space. Tuazon (American, b.1975, lives and works in Paris) creates large-scale sculptures and installations that investigate the physical space and contain references to and elements of Minimalist sensibilities, do-it-yourself aesthetics, and formal architectural practices. His work is often characterized by a sense of tension and aggressiveness that challenges the traditional notions of architecture but also possesses a sense of adaptability that leverages his fascination with alternative architectural movements and improvised usage of building materials such as cement, wood, glass and metal. Much of the materials he uses in his work are scrap or salvage he scavenges himself, which the artist then transforms into a work having an elegant simplicity and raw beauty that reverberates with the physical space around it. Underlying a distrust of architectural orthodoxy is a deep insight to the discipline and a distinct perspective of the visual language of structure, line, and form. For this exhibition at Rat Hole Gallery, Tuazon will work on-site to create sculptural works that push the physical boundaries of the exhibition space. Einarsson (Norwegian, b.1976, lives and works in Oslo, New York, and Tokyo) is known for his minimalist black and white works, often large format paintings, photographs or sculptures, that address themes of authority, order, disorder, crime, and other references to a “control society.” Many of his works are based on pre-existing images, which the artist discovers in a variety of ways, such as through obscure Internet sites, administrative questionnaires, bumper stickers, comics, underground publications, and the book covers of alternative literature whose design takes after post-war abstract painting.

  • Standard (Oslo) Press Release ---Oscar Tuazon
    STANDARD (OSLO) PRESS RELEASE ----- OSCAR TUAZON "STEEL, PRESSURE-TREATED WOOD, OAK POST, OFFICE CHAIR, INDUCTION STOVETOP, ALUMINUM, 2011" 30.09.-29.10.2011 / PREVIEW: FRIDAY 30.09.2011 / 19.00-21.00 ----- STANDARD (OSLO) is proud to announce an exhibition consisting of three new sculptures by gallery artist Oscar Tuazon. Taking their titles from the various materials employed to make each of the sculptures, Tuazon seeks to underline a matter-of-factness with his most recent sculptures while also maintaining a certain sense of reciprocity. The sculptures are defined by their mutual dependence or interaction with other objects in order to assume their meaning or function. They're fragments or components that are simultaneously complete and incomplete; sculptures that assume some tasks; objects that have some work to do. Each of the objects, while apparently a complete, formally resolved object – a thing fulfilling its role as a sculpture – inflect at the same time towards the mundane, the functional, the human. "A room is a place. A small room is a place where, if you are with one other person, you can be generative. you can say what you never said before. The walls seem to talk with you and give you a sense of what you want to say. The vectors of two meet... The room is a marvelously sensitive thing." - Louis Kahn, Louis Kahn: on the Thoughtful Making of Spaces: The Dominican Motherhouse and a Modern Culture of Space, 2010 "The computer is called "The Architecture Machine" and its creators seek to build an intelligent machine, one that they can have a dialogue with.
