Wet Conceptualism in Cognitive Capitalism Part II
November 6th, 2026 – 11am to 7pm
Cloud Seven Bruxelles, Belgium
Speakers include: Ruth Anderwald (+ Leonhard Grond), Nicolas Bourriaud, Jörg Heiser, Warren Neidich, Sarah Matia Pasqualetti, Alexandro Segade (My Barbarian), Dirk Snauwaert, Barbara Vanderlinden, and Pieter Vermeulen.
Wet Conceptualism in Cognitive Capitalism Part II builds on two initiatives that introduced and developed the concept. The first was the exhibition Wet Conceptualism at The Opening Gallery (2022–23). The second was the 2025 Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art symposium in Paris, From Dry to Wet Conceptual Art in Cognitive Capitalism, which examined historical precedents, including Jane Farver’s Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s–1980s (1999) and Romantic Conceptualism, curated by Jörg Heiser and his team at Kunsthalle Nürnberg in 2007. This second iteration extends that trajectory, shifting its geographical focus from New York and Paris to Brussels. >> READ MORE
