While it may seem like we plug many events at the Bozar Centre for Fine Arts on this site, this is mainly because of the sheer frequency of innovative events which are on offer there. Truc Troc is just the latest in a long line and no doubt more will come up in the future.
The first pioneering thing about Truc Troc is that the whole purpose of the event – taking place on the 16th and 17th of January in Brussels – is to bring lesser-known Belgian artists to public attention: with 100 works of art by 100 different contemporary artists, it gives young artists floor-space and the public a way of discovering them. Undoubtedly, amongst the work on show at Truc Troc will be some absolute gems.
But in reality, any art exhibition is likely to have some good work. The reason Truc Troc comes so highly recommended is because it combines top art with new media.
This is because it allows any member of the public interested in a piece of art to leave their contact details on a post-it note next to the art on show. In turn, the artist can contact the person involved, and then negotiate with them – be it a price or objects to exchange.
Together with the live music and DJs, this event is sure to have a real upbeat feel to it. Truc Troc might sound like a silly name; but it promises to be a momentous event, which you’d have to be made to miss out on.
