WIELS is an international laboratory for the creation and the diffusion of contemporary art. Focusing on visual arts, but granting a particular attention to the crossings and interactions with other disciplines, the centre wishes to present contemporary art in all its diversity and to offer a permanent dialogue with the developments and the most recent debates of the art world. Established through the commitment of a private not-for-profit association, WIELS is neither a museum, nor a “Kunsthalle” or a centre for the fine arts, but an institution which articulates a set of complementary functions (exhibition, production and education).
