Brussels

Run by Francesco Rossi, Rossicontemporary opened end of 2008 in the Rivoli building uptown Brussels, a decayed and deserted mall at the time and now becoming an interesting location for contemporary art in the Belgian capital. In the three independent spaces of the gallery - the double ground floor gallery, the two-floors space called Stanze and the recently opened Rotonda room - Rossicontemporary organizes each year about twenty solo-exhibitions, focusing on a new generation of painters, drawers and sculptors as well as on photographic and conceptual art practices.  

Rossicontemporary works almost exclusively with young and emerging artists living in Belgium, often graduated from Belgian art schools, that he attentively coaches after the school years. Young artists are invited to develop solo-exhibition projects for the three spaces, starting from the smallest to the largest, so that, exhibition by exhibition, they can face up substantial issues in an intensive, but nevertheless natural crescendo : how to manage space and time, to deepen and refine personal accents, to build an audience, to acknowledge market rules, to fulfil deal terms, and last but not least, to experience the making of an exhibition as a series of steps where growing self-confidence and enthusiasm ideally end in a positive communication with the public. This is the solid basis of experience by which they can then grow as international artists.
