The (SIC) editorial and curatorial platform, active from 2005 to 2020, was founded in Brussels by Sébastien Biset, Anaël Lejeune, Olivier Mignon, Raphaël Pirenne and Yoann Van Parys. Aurélie Bouvart joined the team in 2011.

The Latin adverb "sic" in square brackets or parentheses is placed after a word or words in a quotation that may seem bizarre or incorrect in order to indicate that the quotation has been reproduced verbatim, without changing or correcting the original. It’s a way of signifying fidelity to one’s source as well as calling attention to anomalies.

(SIC), whose efforts were initially confined to its eponymous journal, has gradually broadened the range of its publications to include historical and theoretical essays, artists' books, monographs, exhibition catalogs, etc. (SIC) has set up a program of exhibitions featuring Belgian and international artists, and a series of events including colloquia, conferences, performance art, concerts, meet-the-artist events, and artists’ residencies.

(SIC) would like to thank wholeheartedly all the people who took part in this adventure directly or indirectly, in particular the contributing artists, the authors, the people we've met through our collaborative projects, our loyal community of exhibitions- and event-goers, and our lifelong friends.

As a non-profit organization, (SIC) has benefited from the structural support of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation as well as one-off funding from such organizations as the CNAP, CNL, FNRS, FNAGP, the Giacometti Foundation, the Lieven Gevaert Centre, Pro Helvetia, the Terra Foundation for American Art, the City of Brussels, UCL and WBI.

(SIC) has worked with a wide range of partners, including Bien à vous, Bozar, the BPS22, Centre Pompidou, Charles Mazé & Coline Sunier, couper ou pas couper, L'Enclume, Établissement d'en face, Harrisson, l'ISELP, JAP, Lafayette Anticipations, La Loge, Le Salon, Saskia Gevaert, Stéphane De Groef, Sternberg Press, Studio Otamendi, Sukrii Kural, WIELS et al.

(SIC) publications are distributed in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg by Les presses du réel, and in the rest of the world by Idea Books.

This site covers all of its activities.
