ADAF — A Domestic Art Fair, is an unconventional annual fair, with the primary goal of translating artistic practices into functional ones through creation and experimentation. By doing so, ADAF aims to question the boundaries between art and design, aesthetics and function. Each edition seeks to build upon the previous, exploring new angles of domesticity. Hence, a new scenography is put forward every year, where participating artists are assigned to the creation of specific domestic objects for an atypical ephemeral exhibition.
“The psychology of living has not changed since someone came up with the clever idea of making themselves comfortable in a cave. The simple logic is: First the people shape their home, then the home shapes the people. The one determines the other, and the other the one.”Markus Peichl, September 2014.

ADAF 2024
A Domestic Art Fair 2024 seeks to reinterpret the concept of the Maison du Peuple through the artistic creations of Belgium-based artists. The Maison du Peuple, also known as the Volkshuis, originated in Belgium in the early 1900s. These buildings were constructed for and used by the working class, a concept that later resonated in many other nations. ADAF 2024 will feature a scenography inspired by this historical idea where 138 artists will present unique pieces to rejuvenate 22 selected rooms of Victor Horta’s ‘Maison du Peuple’ in Brussels.

ADAF 2023
A Domestic Art Fair 2023 featured a scenography with “Common” as the theme.
Common living experiences were one of the first instances of a design towards an inclusive society in domestic environment. ADAF 2023 aimed to explore domestic design and its role in gender equality through the pieces created by 105 Belgium-based artists.
“The history of cohousing started over two thousand years ago, when Pythagoras founded Homakoeion, a vegetarian commune, based on intellectualism, mysticism and the equality of the sexes.” (Meltzer, 2006)

ABOUT
ADAF — A DOMESTIC ART FAIR
ADAF is the brainchild of Miguel Gonçalves-Alver, Morgan Dulong and Doras Alver, two artists and an architect whose respective concerns and practices navigate between the fields of art and design. The artists selected for each edition are largely from a wide circle of shared acquaintances or interests. The practices are varied, and it is this heterogeneity of approaches that allows to support the sensitivity of a look at a particular object.
.
A general idea is tend to define design as the conception of objects characterized by their utility, their function. This precision is important because one of the requests formulated by ADAF to the invited artists is precisely that the designed object must be “functional”, and thus respond to the use that is presupposed and expected of it. A condition (a challenge?) that a majority of the artists are not in the habit of taking into account when it comes to creating their own works.
.
Each piece created by featuring artists for the fair remains unique. An object speaks, it charms, it is a system of signs. We choose an object for personal, emotional, cultural reasons. The emotional bond that is thus established between the user and the object gives it a form of value, a value of esteem. With annual events, ADAF would like to question these different values (commercial, symbolic, emotional) that we give to the objects exhibited and to the spaces that stage them. Will visitors come to see art works or design objects? An exhibition or a market? What happens to an art object when it is “used” in the first degree, in everyday, purely functional use? It is about opening up possibilities, playing on several perspectives, digging into different depths.
