Art Brussels

For Art Brussels 2025, Céline Condorelli (b. 1974) has created a site-specific installation that reimagines the entrance to the fair. Entering an art fair mirrors the experience of stepping onto a theatrical stage. Through the use of curtains, Condorelli draws a connection between the act of arrival and the entrée, the stage — the bühne. On this stage, exhibitors and visitors perform their respective positions in relation to each other.

Céline Condorelli is an artist whose work explores the intersections of art, architecture, design, and social engagement. Of French and Italian descent, she is based in London. Her practice often takes the form of structures that function as both artworks and material supports for social interaction, performance, and exhibition-making.

Condorelli has exhibited widely, including at The National Gallery, the Liverpool Biennial, the Gwangju Biennale, and Van Abbemuseum. She was a founding director of Eastside Projects, the artist-run space in Birmingham, and her work frequently engages with themes of friendship, collaboration, and support structures — both conceptually and physically. She is also the author of Support Structures (2009), a book examining how art and architecture facilitate social and cultural interactions.

Currently a professor at HfG Karlsruhe, Condorelli holds a PhD in Research Architecture from Goldsmiths College, London (2013). She previously earned an MA in the History and Theory of Architecture from the University of East London (2000) and completed her architectural studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London (RIBA Part 1, 1995; RIBA Part 2 and Diploma, 1999).

At Art Brussels, Céline Condorelli is represented by Galeria Vera Cortês.
