Event Details

Art Rotterdam is celebrating its 25th edition from Thursday 1 February to Sunday 4 February at the iconic Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam for the last time - but no less topical and innovative. The 12th edition of Prospects will be showcasing work by 86 talented up-and-coming artists, there will be a spectacular collection of large-scale outdoor work and last but not least, there will be a brand-new section entitled Artistic Matter.
Art Rotterdam is a prestigious fair for contemporary art in the Netherlands. Each year, Art Rotterdam provides a platform for the latest developments in the visual arts. Its strong focus on young art, diversity of the various sections, connection to the City of Rotterdam and fascinating location make this fair truly unique. The over 90 participating galleries from the Netherlands and Belgium are selected for their high-quality offerings.  
Artistic Matter
Artistic Matter will be holding a prominent place at Art Rotterdam. This section is all about the unique use of materials. It shines the spotlight on these artists. In this edition, Tomáš Libertíny is presenting complex frameworks and structures in a beehive. Patiently guiding the bees in the construction process, a delicate connection between humans and nature emerges. The result is a unique stylized shape in beeswax.  
Prospects: 12th edition
Prospects showcases work by 86 artists who received financial support in 2022 to launch their careers. The work on display ranges from photography to textile works, video to paintings and performances to sculptures. The exhibition is curated by Johan Gustavsson in collaboration with curator Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen.
Outdoor work 
Art Rotterdam is presenting a spectacular collection of large-scale outdoor works of art. One of them is Studio Dré Wapenaar's Tentendorp-Herzien, a work that combines architecture, design and visual arts. Galerie Nest is presenting the works RADIATE ||&||| (EVIAN CHRIST) by Joeri Woudstra. Atelier Van Lieshout is presenting a giant vulture with the title Vulture on the outdoor grounds. Willem Besselink (NL=US Art) is fascinated by visible and invisible structures and patterns in the world around us. And more.
