Office Baroque

Office Baroque is a Belgian contemporary art gallery. Situated in the heart of Brussels, its exhibition spaces extend across the ground floor of a 1909 cast-iron building by the Brussels architect Paul Hamesse who was part of the Art Nouveau generation.[1] In September 2015, Office Baroque opened a second gallery space in the vicinity of the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels.

The gallery was originally incorporated in 2007 in an apartment on Harmoniestraat in Antwerp by Marie Denkens and Wim Peeters. The gallery has occupied a location on Lange Kievitstraat in Antwerp from 2008 till 2013. The gallery is named after one of Gordon Matta-Clark’s public interventions, untimely demolished after extensive protests in Antwerp in 1980.

The gallery represents American and European artists and has produced exhibitions. Office Baroque presents exhibitions at international art fairs such as Frieze Art Fair, London; FIAC, Paris; Art Basel, Miami Beach; Independent, New York.[2]

gollark: The economic damage of having people end up wasting tons of time there is significant, let alone the cost of hiring "security" staff and the expensive scanning equipment, and the "cultural cost" of getting people used to intrusive scanning and bizarre restrictions just on travel.
gollark: But primarily, all airport "security" does is inconvenience people and act as a source for jobs for vaguely sociopathic people.
gollark: nobody's system is NOT very good.
