Brussels Gallery Weekend Showcases Five Exhibitions from Feminist Retrospectives to Street Art

Brussels Gallery Weekend runs from September 9-12, 2021, featuring over 40 galleries and spaces opening their September shows. La Loge presents a retrospective of Italian performance artist Chiara Fumai until November 13, focusing on her feminist interrogations through videos, installations, and works on paper that channel figures like Carla Lonzi and Rosa Luxemburg. Xavier Hufkens hosts American sculptor Lynda Benglis until October 16, showcasing her chicken-wire and paper sculptures that explore anti-form and embodied sensuality. Harlan Levey Projects displays Dutch artist Jeroen Jongeleen's street art interventions until October 23, including silver-sprayed posters and aerial drone videos of endurance running. Almine Rech presents American painter Haley Josephs's first European solo show until October 9, featuring psychedelic visions of girlhood with gemini-like twin symmetries. ARCADE exhibits Belgian artist Marijke De Roover's video work until October 16, critiquing heteronormative culture and millennial insecurities through campy cabaret. The event highlights Brussels's commercial art scene and independent public spaces as art scenes return to normal post-COVID-19.
