Trajector Art Fair will transform Hotel BLOOM! into a vibrant ‘boutique hotel art fair’. From Friday the 23rd of April till Sunday the 25th, 18 rooms and a wide range of conference rooms and public spaces are providing a platform for a range of international art spaces and curators to present some of the best emerging contemporary art to a Brussels audience. International exhibitors – coming from Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland, France, Finland and the UK, amongst other locations- range from the very young to those already established on the international art circuit.

In addition there is another thematic programme called ‘Taut – That Certain Tension Between Fashion & Art’. Consisting of an exhibition element and events such as panel discussions, lectures and presentations, Taut engages directly with some of the key issues of creativity at the intersections of art and fashion. This is in collaboration with Diesel and the Fashion Museum of Antwerp (MOMU).
