Office Baroque: 2007-2024
Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness and deep gratitude for all the people we have worked with that we announce that Office Baroque is closing its doors. We wish to thank our tightly knit community of artists, staff, fans, visitors, clients, curators, critics, galleries, photographers, designers, installers, fair organizers and institutions. With an idiosyncratic, experimental approach, Office Baroque occupied an art world niche in Antwerp and Brussels, away from the buzz of large art capitals. It became a home for some of the most inspiring and diverse voices of our time to exhibit and find their way into leading institutions, collections, publications and fairs across the globe. We had set no expiry date and saying goodbye to an organization that, against all odds, has programmed over 100 exhibitions and participated in leading fairs for over 16 years, is bittersweet.
In the future we will more than ever remain committed to deepen our engagement with art, artists and with everybody we will meet along the way. Beyond the current form of Office Baroque, we will be developing projects that use a different compass to produce, curate, publish, exhibit, nurture and discuss ideas, views and works in ways we weren’t able to imagine before. Stay tuned.
For now, it has been an honour to work with all of you!
Yours,
Marie Denkens
Wim Peeters
