Against the backdrop of Art Nouveau townhouses and regenerated areas a contemporary art scene is flourishing in Brussels. A generation of artists is drawn to the city for its multicultural flavour and vibrant art community, anchored by galleries, non-profits, schools and residencies. Their work deals with themes of nostalgia, the exploration and documentation of architecture and nature and the tropes of disappearance and memory. It plays with the role of description, of telling things as they are, or inventing new realities.

Generation Brussels wants to discover, recognise and give support to this generation and bring together artists based in Brussels and working in different media such as drawing, installation, painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography and video.
