Generation Brussels 

This new edition is also an opportunity for BGW to have a new meeting point. The historic D’Ieteren building, designed in 1967 by architect René Stapels in a pure functionalist style, will be the central point of the event. It is where Generation Brussels, curated by art critic and curator Sam Steverlynck, will take place.

The 2023 edition of Brussels Gallery Weekend, curated by Sam Steverlynck, is entitled ‘Cet obscur objet du désir’ as a tribute to the Spanish surrealist cinematographer Luis Buñuel’s eponymous masterpiece. This dark fable of lust and love was the last movie of one of the greatest subversive minds in cinema. For Buñuel’s standards, it was one of his most convenient movies, though there are subtle moments of disruption and surrealist wit. The works on view do not specifically refer to the film’s theme, but rather to its ambivalent title, which unites contradictions between desire and repulsion, phantasms and impulses, the object and the abject, the familiar and the uncanny. It explores the tensions and dualities inherent in emotions and human experiences. The remarkable architecture of the D’Ieteren building will provide a captivating backdrop to this must-see event.
