New section!
Art Brussels introduces Horizons for its 42nd edition in April 2026.
Titled Horizons, this section will be dedicated to a large-scale project by a single artist—one that transcends the traditional booth format in both scale and ambition. Art Brussels will invite galleries to present groundbreaking works that push boundaries and help shape new horizons, encouraging viewers to look beyond the familiar and engage with fresh perspectives.
The selected projects will be showcased together in Hall 6, within a specially designed exhibition setting created by Devrim Bayar (Senior Curator at KANAL-Centre Pompidou in Brussels).
More information about Horizons and the participating gallery will be announced in early 2026.
Devrim Bayar is Senior Curator at KANAL-Centre Pompidou in Brussels.
Previously she was curator at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels, where she curated the exhibitions of Wolfgang Tillmans, R.H. Quaytman, Jacqueline de Jong, Huguette Caland, René Daniëls, Sammy Baloji, Pierre Leguillon, Thomas Bayrle, Daan van Golden, Helena Almeida, among other artists, as well as group shows, such as Something Stronger Than Me* exploring recent developments in collaborative art practices. Bayar also co-curated a series of exhibitions Un-Scene featuring emerging artists working in Belgium. Her independent curatorial projects include the Geneva Biennale — Sculpture Garden (2022) and Poésie contre fin du monde conceived with French artist Ethan Assouline as a sort of experimental community library in Montpellier (2024). Bayar is an author and editor of numerous publications and exhibitions catalogues, with recent essays on Walter Pfeiffer (Swiss Institute/Pacific, 2025) and Mimosa Echard (Mousse Publishing, 2025). Devrim Bayar recently initiated the Brussels Ass Book Fair, an independent book fair featuring productions from LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as a music programme dedicated to sound productions by multidisciplinary artists broadcasted on community radio Kiosk.
