Art Rotterdam moves to the Nellefabriek
Over the past 15 years Art Rotterdam has become the international fair in the Netherlands where you can find young art. The next edition (6 till 9 February 2014) takes place at a very special location: the Van Nellefabriek in Rotterdam, built in 1931 and an icon of post WW I modern architecture.
By making use of two beautiful spaces at the Van Nellefabriek (the Coffee Factory and the Tobacco Factory) the fair extends from 75 to more than 90 participating galleries.
Both the New Art Section as well as the in 2013 successfully launched video section Art Rotterdam Projections are important parts of the fair.
At the New Art Section 25 young galleries present solo exhibitions by upcoming and promising artists. The selection for the New Art Section has been made by Witte de With, the internationally well-known Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam.
The first edition of Art Rotterdam Projections was a huge success and was well received by both press and public. In 2014 the video section Projections will be an integral part of the fair in the Van Nellefabriek. 18 films and videos are shown on large screens in a, worldwide unique, open and interactive setting.
