a non-profit association recently founded in Brussels by independent art critics, curators and culturally commited viewers to promote and develop exchanges between different cultures and within various contemporary arts. Transcultures is not a gallery, an art agency, a foundation or a place... Transcultures is an internationalist meeting point for interdisciplinary artists and other associations, for different cultures, traditions, teachings, means and media. On specific concept, time and space, a selection of artists are gathered/commissioned to work on an interdisciplinary manifestation. Each proposal is both defined and open.
