Q-O2

Q-O2 is an arts laboratory for experimental music and sound art. Since 2006, the organisation has its own space in the Brussels canal zone. Here, we organise residencies for artists, focussing on artistic research and reflection over the production of finished works. The public output of this research takes a variety of forms including showings, concerts, thematic projects, symposia, publications, workshops, and the annual festival Oscillation. Q-O2 practices collaborative and transversal methods, and we welcome cross-overs into other disciplines, and various urban and social contexts, as well as collaborations with both local and international partners. Since 2016, we run the publishing-house umland; an imprint for books on sonic cultures, artistic creation, and critical reflection.
