April 24–27, 2025
Art Brussels returns for its 41st edition from April 24–27, 2025, bringing together 165 galleries from 35 countries in five curated sections—Prime, Solo, ‘68 Forward, Discovery and Invited. In addition to showcasing more than 800 artists, the fair introduces a curated and compelling selection of artistic projects that expands its programme and brings all forms of contemporary art into focus.
Art Brussels 2025 introduces two major initiatives: The Screen, a curated video art programme featuring works selected by Eliel Jones (Curator of Performance and Time-based Media at KANAL-Centre Pompidou) and Brussels-based filmmaker Alex Reynolds. Among the selected works are White Cloud (2023) by Emmanuel Van der Auwera, represented by Harlan Levey Projects (Brussels). This video explores mysterious white clouds, the promises of communication technologies, and the often-invisible labor behind our mediated world. Also featured is Love Song (2024) by Pedro Barateiro, presented by Galeria Filomena Soares (Lisbon), a film that blends autofiction, documentary, and essay to investigate autobiographical narratives.
The second initiative, Monumental Artworks, is an exhibition of large-scale installations that transcend the traditional booth format, curated by public art expert Carine Fol (City of Brussels). Among the 14 selected works, Jonathan Meese, DR. SAUGERZ DE KUNST (DER ERZROSAROTEPAULCHENPANTHERZ DE LARGE GÄHNT) (2021), represented by Tim Van Laere Gallery (Antwerp, Rome), will be installed outside the fair. Additionally, Maurice Verbaet Gallery (Knokke, Antwerp, Brussels) will present two significant works by Tapta: Découper / assembler / appuyer (1980s) and Néoflexible (1985).
Beyond these new additions, visitors will encounter striking site-specific projects, including a special entrance installation by Céline Condorelli (represented by Galeria Vera Cortês, Lisbon) and Carton Plein, an archival project led by Juan d’Oultremont. The KickCancer Collection also returns, this year featuring curator Zoë Gray (Bozar), who will activate the project during the fair. Additionally, the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles presents young artist Maëlle Dufour with a monumental installation, while Maison Ruinart will present guest artist Lélia Demoisy (represented by By Lara Sedbon, Paris) with new works made in the context of Conversations with Nature.
The 75th anniversary of the Belgian Art Prize will be marked by the special exhibition Back to the Future in the Stibbe Lounge of the fair, and SOFAM will present the artists which were granted with the recently founded Pomona Art Prize curated by Antony Hudek.
With this dynamic and diverse programme, Art Brussels 2025 reaffirms its role as a leading platform for contemporary art, bringing together artists, galleries, collectors, and curators who want to explore contemporary art in all its forms in an environment that encourages discovery and dialogue.
Art Brussels takes place from Thursday April 24 to Sunday April 27, 2025.
