Komplot is a curators’ collective with three aims: to research into new forms of exhibition, to establish a national and international network of artists’ and curators’ collectives, and to provide a platform for existing Belgian and international collectives and artists. Its aim is to generate projects that benefit Brussels, Flemish and Walloon artists and to set up international connections as in previous projects in Paris and Berlin and the Brussels branch of The Public School. Komplot’s members are Sonia Dermience, Véronique Depiesse, Heidi Ballet and Eva Bialek. From their base in Brussels (opposite Wiels) they produce exhibitions, films, books and the new annual magazine Year.
