Trajector Art Fair Intermezzo, Brussels, 7&8th Sept 2013

PAPER are showing some of my artists books this weekend at Trajector Intermezzo in Brussels this weekend 7/8th September, 12-6pm at Hotel Bloom, Brussels. For more information visit this site http://www.trajectorartfair.org/intermezzo//index.htm , or read below.

Trajector Intermezzo is an initiative by Trajector Art Fair and Hotel Bloom!, drawing together ideas from previous Trajector Art Fairs and Art in Bloom! The focus of Trajector Intermezzo is on individual artists rather than the way in which project spaces, artists’ initiatives and galleries lead the content of the more established Trajector Art Fair format. Trajector Intermezzo – Rematch! Is the second manifestation of the initiative in Brussels.

In September 2013, Trajector Intermezzo will provide a platform for approximately 30 international emerging and mid-career artists to realise solo and two-person projects, bringing a high calibre of international contemporary art to a Brussels audience. At Trajector Intermezzo – Rematch! these presentations will be complemented by a limited number of invited curated projects.

Trajector Art Fair’s traditional focus has not been on the commercial gallery sector, but on the project spaces, artists’ initiatives and independent curatorial projects that provide important platforms and experimentation grounds for emerging contemporary artists in the international arena. In part a celebration and playful game with the role of non-profit organisations, project spaces and independent curators within the art commerce systems, Trajector takes the original concept and reconfigures it as a hotel art fair in Brussels' top design hotel. Tongue-in-cheek, critique or hardcore commercial? That's largely up to the participants and audience to determine. With Trajector Intermezzo, the game continues.

In many cases, the artists participating in the second manifestation of Trajector Intermezzo, entitled ‘Rematch!’ will directly address the idea of an hotel itself, producing works and presentations that respond specifically to the unique phenomenon that is the hotel.

2in1 - Solo show 'Why Buildings Stand Up/Why buildings Fall Down', Malgras Naudet 29th Aug - 1st Sept

'Why Buildings Stand Up / Why Buildings Fall Down'A solo show by Jenny Steele

Why buildings stand up/why buildings fall down' will present drawing, projected images and sculpture created in response to a month long period of research into post-colonial architectures in Namibia and South Africa in late 2012.  The title of the show comes from the books Why Buildings Stand Up(Salvadori: 2002) and Why Buildings Fall Down (Salvadori, Levy: 2002).  The texts outline the principles why buildings weight bear, and why they sometimes collapse, in relation to engineering and human narratives.

‘Pret a Exposer: a Curatorial Experiment (accents above the ‘e’ and ‘a’?)’A group show by MUTO - Manchester | Rennes ExchangeArtists: Charleyne Boyer |  Elodie Cousquer | Damien Ledevedec | James Lencki | Sylvain Le Quemener | Julien Marty | Quentin Montagne | Anais Pien | Mélanie Villemot

Over the last year, a group of young Manchester-based artists have been exchanging with their equivalent in Rennes, France.  The exchange, so far, has existed via the sending of art works, ideas and instructions for each group to follow, allowing us to establish an understanding of our unknown peers.  With a face-to-face meeting finally in sight, the question is what do we do with the things that they have sent, and how can artistic research be presented in a way that is engaging?
