Italian Galleries Anna Marra and Nosco Open Joint Space in Brussels

exhibition · 2026-04-27

In Brussels, the Roman gallery Anna Marra has partnered with the Franco-British Gallery Nosco to establish a permanent joint space, evolving from their temporary project, Bubble’n’Squeak, which took place in March 2021. This earlier initiative featured around 40 emerging and mid-career artists across four exhibitions during a time when the art market had transitioned online due to pandemic restrictions. The newly opened MARRA\NOSCO Gallery, inaugurated on December 15, 2021, is situated on the first floor of a historic building in the Santa Caterina district. Its inaugural exhibition, The Little Thing That Counts, showcases ten artists from the 1950s to the 1990s, including Andreea Albani and Carlos Martiel, and will be on display until January 29, 2022. The collaboration seeks to enhance the focus on both galleries and foster artistic dialogue across generations and continents.
