POPPOSITIONS
TO PAUSE IN 2020
After eight successful editions, the co-founders of POPPOSITIONS have decided to shelve it in its current form, a curated art fair. What began as a grassroots initiative in 2012 as a way to react against the dominance of mainstream art fair formats has grown into an alternative fair model for many to follow. The art scene has changed tremendously in the past eight years and Brussels has also evolved into a very different landscape.
We have always strived to keep our relevance, tactically adapting our modus operandi and finding a new location every single year. Nevertheless, we have decided it is time to put the model as it exists aside and explore how it could be reborn in a different form. As such, there will be no edition in Spring 2020.
We are immensely grateful for all the support we received in past years, especially from our directors, Rachelle Dufour, Amélie Quillet and our artistic directors Niekolaas Johannes Lekkerkerk and Nicolas de Ribou. We would like to express our gratitude to our highly committed team and our large pool of volunteers, without whom we would never have lasted so long. We also are endlessly grateful for the support of our loyal participants and visitors.
