Art Brussels copies Art Basel with new editorial section at Tour&Taxis

Art Brussels has introduced a redesigned editorial area at its new Tour&Taxis venue, directly inspired by Art Basel's format. The section features small stands arranged around a square perimeter, with even smaller desks in the central area that do not require staffing. A popular organic bar surrounds the space, with chairs and tables for relaxed conversations between readers and publishers. This move addresses the often poor experience of editorial zones at art fairs, where magazines are typically relegated to punitive, low-traffic areas. The improvement contrasts sharply with the recently concluded miart in Milan, which offered a less enjoyable experience. The article praises the Belgian fair for adopting this user-friendly layout, suggesting Italian fairs could benefit from similar innovations.
