100 Artists | 100 Positions
Every artist makes a Solo presentation.
Contemporary Art Fair
Brussels
28.09 – 01.10.23
Spaces, pavilions and parks of the Museum of Art and History of Brussels
What's the Project?
The Solo Project is a contemporary art fair with a distinctive character that was first organised in Basel, Switzerland, in 2008, coinciding with Art Basel.
After nine editions in Switzerland, the project was transferred to Brussels.
The first Belgian edition opened at the end of April last year.
There are several sections: International galleries, HISK graduates, Literature and Young talents in collaboration with ARBA, Copper&Light, La Cambre, LUCA school of arts, Beaux-Arts de Liège, and WARP.
We work on the Cinquantenaire site under the patronage of Paul Dujardin and Carole Schuermans.
Third Important art initiative in Brussels
Our aim is to launch a third art fair for international contemporary art in Brussels, as a complement to BRAFA and Art Brussels. It will be held at a completely different time of year to the other events.
We expect 8,000-10,000 visitors.
Unique
- Galleries cannot register for the project.
- Participation is by curatorial invitation only.
- There will be no individual booths.
- The event is organised as a single exhibition in which every artist makes a solo presentation.

INSPIRING
Promoting Up-and-Coming Talent
It is essential to engage a wide audience.
The project aims are twofold: to inspire and provide opportunities to young artists.
A multi-disciplinary environment, in the broadest sense of the word, will be created. The project will also feature a forum for performance art and literature, alongside classical art forms such as painting, photography, installation, video art and sculpture. Lectures, debates, poetry and book readings – they all have a place in the project.
From the first to last day, there will be a clear programme of events featuring the artists and writers selected by the curators.
Talented young artists are the primary focus.
Belgium is home to a huge number of young creatives. We estimate that fewer than 1% find a suitable place to show their work or are given the chance to publish a collection or essay. These are the people we champion. We are also working with organisations that train and/or support artists.
We aim to give 100 young artists the chance to share their work with a large international audience. Totally free of charge.
Foreign talent and galleries are also important: they have always comprised the majority of the participants. HISK graduates will also be given a platform under the leadership of Willem Elias.

International galeries
Recognized as one of the most dynamic and innovative young events in the programming of the international fair calendar.

The particularity of The-Solo-Project lies in the way it works, as galleries cannot apply by themselves like in other fairs and that each show is dedicated to one single artist.
