就像在纽约一样,独立艺术展的布鲁塞尔版旨在补充这座城市嗡嗡作响的艺术场景,从战略上选择布鲁塞尔艺术展周(结束),作为其商标展示会在欧洲土地上的首创版。

这支队伍偶然发现了一栋面积5万平方英尺的范德堡大厦,这是一家位于市中心的前百货公司。创意顾问马修·希格斯(Matthew Higgs)解释说:“我们拥有这一神奇的空间,就在中心地带,它拥有一座完美的建筑,几乎完美地展现了艺术。”这座六层高的建筑充满了玻璃幕墙和玻璃墙的中庭,让自然光能够突出建筑物的透光。

在底层,进步的概念立刻变得清晰起来:纽约的发电站david zwirner与非盈利的白色专栏擦肩而过,而后者又与delmes相邻。

它提供了一种多样化的观看体验,在了解了设置之后,有助于讨论过渡和并置。卡里尔·吉鲍尔把劳尔·普鲁沃斯特的单色标语画和塔里克·基斯旺松的精美雕塑放在一起,在黑暗、沉重的文字和轻量化的钢铁之间制造了一种张力。在其他地方,卡斯珀·博斯曼任性的媒体作品,从镀银青铜到水粉,再到木头铅笔,展示了他在马克·福克斯画廊(MarcFoxx)创作的无拘无束的能力。

希格斯总结道:“你会在单个艺术品之间进行有趣的对话,但在一个更传统的展览中,这种对话是不可能的。”他说:“人们对此有很大的反应。希望对话能继续下去。

Beginning at the end of Art Brussels, Independent looked to complement the city’s buzzing art scene. Pictured: Gladstone Gallery

‘We had the extraordinary fortune of this amazing space, right in the centre, with a wonderful architecture that’s almost perfect for presenting art,’ says creative advisor Matthew Higgs about the six-floor structure. Pictured: installation view

The glass-walled atrium allows natural light to emphasise the building’s transparencies. Pictured: Jocelyn Wolff at Cahn International

For Matthew Higgs, it is important that all kinds of galleries are represented. Pictured: Truth and Consequences

At Independent, there is no hierarchy when placing each project in the gallery. Pictured: Wilfried Lentz and Peres Projects

‘At a lot of fairs, the younger galleries are all together; the blue chip galleries are all together. We’re interested in trying to dissolve that,’ Higgs explains. Pictured: Gavin Brown’s enterprise

The set-up of each room was conducive to discussions on transitions in the pieces of art. Pictured: Galerie Meyer Kainer

There was a range of mediums and textures featured in each exhibition space. Pictured: Tel Aviv’s Dvir Gallery

‘You get really interesting dialogues between individual artworks, which you wouldn’t with a more conventionally structured fair,’ Higgs explains. Pictured: Triangle Books’ offering

‘There has been a great response. Hopefully it’s a dialogue that will continue,’ Higgs concludes. Pictured: Galerie Christophe Gaillard and Ludion gallery
