At the invitation of the Komplot team, we, Romane and Charlotte are taking on the roles of curators and coordinators for the 5ᵗʰ edition of 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁.

For us, taking on these roles means building on what has always made 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁 special: a way of discovering the commune differently, through its studios, independent spaces and artistic initiatives. On foot or by bike, the parcours draws a human-scale map of an ecosystem shaped by places, encounters, friendships and collaborations.

For this edition, we wanted to add another layer: creating connections and weaving a narrative between the different places, projects and people that make up the parcours. We chose to look at what exists between places, between projects, between what is shown and what makes it possible for them to exist: the relationships that are woven, the resources that are shared, the spaces that are opened up, and the collaborations that bring projects into being. Because an artistic scene is not built through exhibitions alone, but also through everything that comes before, surrounds and extends them. This attention to connections runs throughout this year’s programme, where artistic practices, stories, knowledge and resources meet and circulate, from collective making to explorations of the territory.

As curators and facilitators, we see our role as accompanying these circulations, connecting stories and making visible some of the relationships that run through the different places. And, above all, creating opportunities to meet, share, celebrate and spend time together.
We’re very happy to be part of this edition and to celebrate with you all the people, spaces and connections that make 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁 possible. ♡ taken in Komplot by @chafrenay

The countdown begins for the 5th edition of Art Anderlecht!

We warmly invite you to 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, a three-day journey through the places, people, connections and collective energies that make Anderlecht’s art scene what it is.

Since 2022, Art Anderlecht has invited you to discover Anderlecht’s artistic initiatives from a different perspective, on foot or by bike, moving between the places, encounters, friendships and collaborations that make up its artistic ecosystem.

For this fifth edition, we’re looking beyond the places themselves, towards everything that happens between them: the connections that are made, the knowledge that circulates, the spaces that are shared, the collaborations that make projects possible, and the people who keep a scene alive.

Our 2026 programme takes these commons as a starting point. Expect exhibitions, workshops, performances, guided tours, gatherings, parties and plenty of opportunities to wander, discover, meet and celebrate together.

This year, we’ll be returning to some familiar places and discovering new ones: @atelier_bardaf @atelier_poiesis @brusselsartistrunnetwork @big_appple @gilbard.e.s @glasgow.studios @janitor.brussels @komplot_brussels @offf.centre @streetviewanderlecht @vroom.space @werkplaats_walter Brasseries Atlas

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
11 — 12 — 13 September

Three days to wander a little, get lost in the side streets, discover what’s being made here and celebrate the people who make it possible.

The full programme is coming soon!

A focus on the 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 publication, designed by Emma Burel @emmaburel. Emma carefully considered the project and the artists intentions, translating it visually for the graphic elements of the exhibition.

Camille, Charlotte, Julia and Natalija gathered together on Friday, February 6th, at 14h in the afternoon. A month and a half before the opening of their exhibition 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, they took an active moment in time to have a conversation about their process during the project. Flow through their thoughts, reflections and unfolding ideas as the conversation continues across the pages.

They were in the company of Emma and PC Malet, who took care of the production and scenography of the exhibition.

The beautiful publication is available at Komplot. It’s the final weekend to visit 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩—open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 14:00–18:00.

🌀Upcoming Exhibition🌀

Komplot Brussels is proud to present 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, a duo exhibition with Ghent-based artist Natalija Gucheva and Antwerp-based artist Julia Tröscher, opening on March 19th at 18:00.

𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 explores the porous boundaries between our inner and outer ontology, looking at modes of imaging and imagining as active tools for accessing deeper parts of our emotional landscape. Through their video and installation practices, Gucheva and Tröscher engage in a meditative methodology, bringing about a potentially healing process by tapping into suppressed emotions and memories. Taking the intimate and the personal as a starting point, the exhibition simultaneously questions how internal messages speak to a wider collective context.

Presenting an immersive installation with video and sound elements at its core, the artists create a space for 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 that invites the audience to relate to their work. How can the personal and universal come together? What can sensibility tell us?

𝘍𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 - Now on view at our 1M3 vitrine curated by Charlotte Frenay

𝘍𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 began as a gesture anchored in Black History Month. As the artists’ book collection was explored, a rupture emerged: out of nearly two thousand books, only five could be identified as authored by African-descendant artists. What began as a necessity became a site of transformation. With the support of the Kunstenbibliotheek, 1M³ expands beyond the existing collection, welcoming books already present alongside new commissions intended to enter it, not as symbolic corrections, but as required gestures.

Charlotte Frenay is a Brussels-based researcher working on alternative archival practices. She holds a BA in Media and Communications from Goldsmiths (London), and later completed an MA in African Studies at Ghent University.  She is currently enrolled in the postgraduate Curatorial Studies program at KASK & Conservatorium for 2025–2026.

With books from Sammy Baloji, James Barnor, Frank Bowling, Helen Cammock, Chéri Chérin, Chimurenga, Torkwase Dyson, Theaster Gates, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Renée Gladman, David Hammons, Arthur Jafa, Kerry James Marshall, Liz Johnson Artur, Jean Katambayi Mukendi, Bodys Isek Kingelez, Marilyn Nance, Grace Ndiritu, Otobong Nkanga, Precious Okoyomon, Frida Orupabo, Betye Saar, Issa Samb, Chéri Samba, Malick Sidibé, Freddy Tsimba, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, Billie Zangewa.
