Dépendance, Maverick Brussels Gallery, Calls It Quits
Brussels contemporary art gallery Dépendance announced it is closing after 23 years, saying in a letter to its mailing list that “it’s time to say good-bye.” Founded in 2003 by Michael Callies and Stephan Jaax, the gallery maintained a single Brussels location and represented a little more than 30 artists, including Josef Strau, Ed Atkins, Allison Katz, Oscar Tuazon, and Jana Euler, while typically doing only five or six art fairs per year. In 2024 it opened a project space called VIEW; the final VIEW show (by ReschWilleit) and the main space’s final show (by Alexandra Metcalf) both close on June 27. The gallery said it will remain reachable until the end of August 2026 to handle inquiries and practical follow-up matters.
