KATERINA GREGOS STEPS DOWN AS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF ART BRUSSELS

The artistic director of Art Brussels for the past four years, Katerina Gregos, will be leaving her position, reports Ryan Steadman for The Observer. Gregos curated the Belgian Pavilion at the fifty-sixth Venice Biennale, and also organized the fifth Thessaloniki Biennial. She has also curated the Danish Pavilion at the fifty-fourth Venice Biennale. At Art Brussels, she was responsible for introducing nonprofit institutions and launching a curatorial program in collaboration with the Flanders Art Institute.

Leaving this summer to focus on independent projects, Gregos told Steadman, “I come from the world of public institutions, large-scale exhibitions, and biennials, and this is the world I feel most comfortable in though as an independent curator one should always be open.”
