BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors
CLOUD SEVEN
"Cloud Seven is a place where different audiences can come together in a supportive, unassuming atmosphere to share ideas, be stimulated, and feel at home."
Cloud Seven is a hybrid art center in the heart of Brussels. The building is home to an exhibition space presenting a selection of the collection of Frédéric de Goldschmidt, a French art collector based in Brussels, but also includes a co-working space, apartments, and a wellness center.
“Cloud Seven is a place where different audiences can come together in a supportive, unassuming atmosphere to share ideas, be stimulated, and feel at home. It is the realization of my dream to embed the ideas and questions that artists raise into the lives of the city’s workforce as they shape the future of our cultural landscape, thoughtfully connecting art with life, and making art more accessible to the public.”

Rooms of Resonance
(15.04.23-01.10.23)
„All humans have a different way to weave and vibrate the cord that binds them to the world. Artists feel and express these space links more intensely and make them resonate in us. This exhibition is a tribute to life, with its fragility, its imperfections and its finitude."
Frédéric de Goldschmidt
For the second exhibition since the launch of Cloud Seven, and the third exhibition in the building, private collector Frédéric de Goldschmidt presents Rooms of Resonance, curated by Benedicte Goesaert and Chantal Pattyn.
In order to conceive the show, the curators travelled through the collection with the ambition to present works that hadn't been part of an earlier presentation. This was the start of a journey about connecting with specific pieces of artists known to them and investigating the work of emerging and less familiar artists. The concept unfolded during different stages of editing the selection and interacting in conversations with the collector about relationships between the works. This process resulted in the selection of 62 artworks by 56 artists on view.
Rooms of Resonance examines how to connect with the self, the other and the world in these disruptive times. The journey unfolds through four different stages, from the sensuality of earthly matters to the exploration of metaphysical energies.
The title Rooms of Resonance highlights the intimate and semi-private spatial context of Cloud Seven. Every room brings together a selection of artworks that are curated following a connecting theme.
