I’m so happy and excited to be back in Brussels after nine long months without seeing the “plat pays”. The timing could not be more perfect as the new art season is kicking with a HUGE exhibition programme filled with oh so promising art shows and events. I hesitated before making this little Agenda for you dear readers as the Brussels Art Days plan/map is pretty straight forward and holds most of the information you need to transform a simple weekend in Brussels into an artsy experience. But I decided to list here the exhibitions I’m particularly looking forward to, as I know that sometimes too much choices can be overwhelming. I always try to “craft” for myself the perfect art tour when I know that I’m going to go visit few art galleries, be your own curator and make the best of theses Brussels Art Days by visiting both commercial galleries and non-profit art space in order to have a “fair” image of the Brussels art scene. Engage with people, art galleries are not silent impersonal locations, in my opinion they should be see as forums to talk and debate.
If you can’t make it this weekend, feel free to join me on Snapchat at thebubblistarty, or on Instagram at @the_bubblist as I will be sharing pictures and videos.
