Hotel Bloom!
Rue Royale 250
B - 1210 Brussels
Belgium
April 2011 sees Trajector Art Fair return to Brussels after its first appearance in the Belgian capital in 2010. Trajector Art Fair is an initiative by Hotel Bloom! and Centrifugal Projects that will take place on 30 April & 1 May 2011, coinciding and collaborating with Art Brussels.
In 2011, Trajector Art Fair will once again transform Hotel Bloom! into a vibrant 'boutique hotel art fair' providing a platform for a range of approximately 30 international art spaces, galleries and curators to present some of the best contemporary art to a Brussels audience.
Trajector's traditional focus has not been on the commercial gallery sector, but on the project spaces, artists' initiatives and independent curatorial projects that provide important platforms and experimentation grounds for emerging contemporary artists in the international arena. In part a celebration and playful game with the role of non-profit organisations, project spaces and independent curators within the art commerce systems, Trajector takes the original concept and reconfigures it as a hotel art fair in Brussels' top design hotel. Tongue-in-cheek, critique or hardcore commercial? That's largely up to the participants and audience to determine.
And, indeed, with the inclusion of young commercial galleries and established galleries presenting solo projects or artist-initiated projects for the first time in 2011, the questions and games become even more complex.
