Since 1979, DEWEER gallery has been bringing cutting edge contemporary art from all over the world to its spacious exhibition halls in Otegem, a small village on the countryside in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The gallery is now a ‘family affair’: Bart and Gerald Deweer have joined forces with their father Mark, with the intent to keep on playing a role on the international scene.
A considerable part of the shows at DEWEER focus on important and established positions, but the gallery regards the promotion of upcoming artists - from Belgium and abroad - as equally important. Furthermore, the gallery’s profile is based on independent, at times even controversial choices. As a result of this, lyrical work will always be part of the programme together with work based on intellectual discourse – if the distinction is even useful. The DEWEER gallery does not wish to follow any trends or neglect any genres: the originality, intelligence and personal engagement of the artist are all that matter.
The DEWEER gallery has two exhibition halls, of about 200 and 300 square meters, both lit by tempered natural light. The staff assisting the Deweer family currently consists of two employees and two assistants. Catalogues are published on some occasions, and the gallery often supports institutional publications. The DEWEER gallery is also a regular exhibitor at the art fairs in Brussels (Art Brussels), Berlin (Art Forum Berlin), Paris (FIAC), Basel (ART Basel) and Madrid (Arco).
