Inaugural Brussels Art Week stakes a strong claim for the city's scene

The inaugural Brussels Art Week took place from September 5-8, organized by the non-profit RendezVous, co-founded by Evelyn Simons and Laure Decock. The event featured gallery openings, artist talks, institutional shows, performances, and offsite interventions across multiple neighborhoods, deliberately avoiding the traditional art fair model. A centerpiece was a commissioned social space by British artist Zoe Williams titled 'A Tip Inn,' a functioning bar and performance venue that hosted talks, readings, and DJ sets. Participating galleries included Xavier Hufkens (showing Charline von Heyl), Gladstone (Nicholas Bierk), and Mendes Wood DM (Julien Creuzet), while Damien & The Love Guru installed Sharon Van Overmeire's inflatable castle sculpture at Wiels garden.
