From September 12th to 15th, 2024, Brussels kicks off the new gallery season with the inaugural edition of RendezVous – Brussels Art Week, a new initiative by Laure Decock and Evelyn Simons that aims to unite the diverse players in the city’s contemporary art scene.
This event is set to create a dynamic platform for gallerists, curators, museum directors, artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts alike, celebrating the richness and diversity of Brussels’ artistic fabric.
Following the recent cancellation of the Brussels Gallery Weekend after 16 successful years, Laure Decock and Evelyn Simons are taking the reins with the support of over 53 contemporary art galleries, both established names like Xavier Hufkens, rodolphe janssen, Jan Mot and Galerie Greta Meert alongside newcomers such as Grège Gallery, Sybil, Gauli Zitter and KIN. Their vision is to position Brussels firmly on the international art agenda by showcasing the quality and variety of its artistic community.
RendezVous – Brussels Art Week will kick off on Thursday 12 September with a collective opening night for all participating galleries followed by drinks, and will end with a moment of gathering at KIOSK Radio on Sunday 15 September. These get-togethers are designed to foster collaboration and dialogue among participants, creating a sense of community and shared passion for contemporary art.
“Brussels is a unique place, a vibrant metropolis where creativity thrives amidst a charming chaos. Our aim is to harness this energy, bringing together the city’s artistic forces to celebrate the contemporary art scene,” said Laure Decock & Evelyn Simons, founders of RendezVous.
The event will highlight the geographical spread of the gallery scene, encompassing downtown, uptown, and midtown, showcasing both established and emerging galleries. The weekend will be filled with openings, performances, and spontaneous get-togethers.
As part of this inaugural edition, the programme will feature various itineraries focusing on distinct Brussels geographies, recurring exhibition themes, and discursive activities.
