Nine spaces for emerging art in Belgium
Opened since May 2015, Numéro 13 isn’t your run-of-the-mill gallery. More of an artist studio that is open to the public every three to four months for exhibitions, Numero 13 was initiated by artists and curators Sophie Graniou and Paul Chazal who settled in Brussels after years spent in Nice, Geneva and the UK. The space, located on the ground floor of what used to be a former furniture restoration atelier, is mostly used to showcase the work of the founders, who live above, as well as that of artists they share artistic sensibilities with. With the focus firmly on the experimental, each exhibition seeks to reflect a given moment in an artist’s thinking process, with an approach that involves no intermediary and sees works go directly from studio to exhibition space and from artist to viewer in an heartbeat.
