Brussel Biënnale

bio

The Brussels Biennial is a perennial exhibition of contemporary art. Hosted in Brussels, it was founded in 2007 by independent curator Barbara Vanderlinden. It emerges at the end of a decennium that has seen an increase in large-scale exhibitions and biennials and marks an important step forward in the process of integrating the Capital of Europe in the international contemporary art scene.

    Among the modern-art crowd, Belgium is known as the country with that 'surrealist' lineage: James Ensor - René Magritte - Marcel Broodthaers. While this is certainly a fine compliment for three artists of far-reaching significance, a great deal has changed in this country, which has been a crossroads of the Roman and Germanic cultures, a key logistic point between Great Britain, Germany and France, and home to the European Community.
