Public talk – Art Anderlecht: The Value of Space for Artistic Work
UFO bezoekersprogramma #1 (c) Anne van der Pot
Are you a visual artist in Flanders? On Friday 13 September, the Brussels Artist-run Network is organising a public talk as part of this visitor programme at Komplot.
Discuss the value of spaces for artists with international art professionals at Komplot in the morning and join the networking drink at Tictac Art Centre in the evening.
Spaces for Spaces: The Value of Space for Artistic Work
During this talk, facilitated by the Brussels Artist-run Network, we will discuss the value of artistic workspaces in an urban context and the need for a policy framework to better represent the interests of our communities. Spaces for artistic development and production are often invisible and undervalued in contrast to exhibition spaces. In cities where property prices are rising and rents are increasing, the value of physical space is often only perceived in financial terms.
Speakers: a.o. Maximiliaan Royakkers, Ciel Grommen and artistic intervention by Katinka De Jonge
