Rotterdam Art Week will take place from 26 to 30 March. This year, CBK Rotterdam is again fully involved in various initiatives in the context of Art Rotterdam and the Rotterdam Art Week. This year is very special because Art Rotterdam is moving from the familiar Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam-West to Ahoy Rotterdam in Zuid! This means that at the end of March there will be a wonderful range of Rotterdam art on display on our south bank! A selection from the overwhelming range:
Bad Foundation organizes the group exhibition ϟ ENERGY ϟThe exhibition shows works by both members of the foundation and guest artists. Including Anique Weve, Aletta de Jong en Karin Arink. Rib aan de Wolphaertsbocht organizes a festival under the title The South Manifesto: I love Carlos with besides Rib also for example Stichting WET and various public places like bars and shops in Zuid. Besides this festival also the familiar and always exciting South Explorer during Rotterdam Art Week will rise again. In addition to these larger manifestations, various Rotterdam artists will be active in other places, such as Pip Passchier at FLAT and Pedro Gil Farias at UID (Unity in Diversity).
