Inaugural edition of Independent Brussels Announces 2016 Exhibitor List

About Independent

Conceived in 2009 by Elizabeth Dee and Darren Flook and developed in collaboration with creative advisor Matthew Higgs and executive director Laura Mitterrand, Independent is an invitational art fair devised by and for gallerists that strives to re-examine the traditional methods of presenting, viewing and experiencing contemporary art. Independent Brussels, led by co-directors Olivier Pesret and Liv Vaisberg, is the fair’s first edition outside of New York. Now in its seventh year, Independent has a rotating participant network of over 120 galleries from over 20 countries worldwide.
