ForwArt was launched in 2000 by the BBL in its cultural centre with the goal of promoting international contemporary art in Belgium. For this second edition, fourteen young artists were selected by four international exhibition curators and were given the opportunity of producing new work. The kind collaboration of the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, the Bibliothèque Royale, the Ville de Bruxelles and other partners, has enabled the exhibition to leave its initial premises this year in order to explore the Mont des Arts : a historical urban site offering the artists a range of areas around the renowned Place Royale
spaces in a library, a large brick wall, public gardens, museum halls, a commercial gallery, etc that have been kindling their imagination. ForwArt invites its visitors to discover the many facets, including the most recent of contemporary art, through a series of works spanning the monumental, the architectural, intimist art, plastic art, conveying a poetic or social message. The artists use means of expression as varied as drawing, mural painting, photography, video, new media, billboards, installations and performance. Such diversity reveals a thirst for experimentation among these artists who come from all over the world, including Belgium itself.
