Talk: Joëlle Dubois & Bruno Teirlynck in conversation with Benedicte Goesaert

What’s the Role of the Artist and the Art Collector in Today’s Art World? 

Joëlle Dubois and Bruno Teirlynck in conversation with Benedicte Goesaert 

Join Benedicte Goesaert at the fair as she engages in a conversation with artist Joëlle Dubois and collector Bruno Teirlynck, both of whom bring unique perspectives to the art world and Art Antwerp. In this talk, they will discuss the experience of being an artist, the challenges of presenting new work to the outside world—particularly to potential collectors—as well as how Bruno Teirlynck navigates the vast array of art available today. What role do art fairs play in this dynamic? Does a collector always wish to meet the artist behind the work, and is it important for an artist like Joëlle Dubois to speak with the collectors of her work? 

Joëlle Dubois is known for her vibrant, glossy paintings that often center around female physicality. Her work combines gravity and irony, confronting viewers with the duality of modern technology. In her more recent work, she delves into her personal life, exploring themes of loss, uncertainty, memory, and love. She creates an atmosphere where vulnerability and strength alternate in dreamy scenes. Her work will be showcased at Art Antwerp in the KETELEER GALLERY booth. 

Bruno Teirlynck has transformed from a casual art enthusiast into an intentional and engaged collector of emerging talent. With a distinctive and optimistic outlook, he closely follows both the Belgian and international art world and market, adding a nuanced perspective to the role of “the collector.” As an M&A advisor, economic rationale is central in his professional life, but a life enriched by art offers balance and fresh insights. 

Benedicte Goesaert is a curator, art expert, and VIP ambassador for Art Antwerp and Art Brussels. She served for eight years as a director at Zeno X Gallery, spending many weeks at art fairs. With nearly 14 years of experience in both the domestic and international art world, she has a deep understanding of the various roles and dynamics within this evolving field. In her current role, she collaborates with both artists and collectors, some of whom seek guidance to her in buying or collecting art.
