What do we know about bridges? And about building bridges? Both in a physical and metaphorical sense?

During 24H Nieuw-West, the atelier complex Nieuw en Meer—located on a peninsula by the Nieuwe Meer—will once again open its doors to the public. Visitors are invited to join the "Emsterdam Bridge Experience," designed by Roos Oomen and Timon Tamminga. This experience will lead them to three bridges, built by Maurice Bogaert (Let Us Meet in the Middle), Sander van Deurzen (Brug), and Arjen Lancel (Groeibrug).

There will be an "Art Brocante" on the premises, and in the Kantina, you can treat your soul and ears with Jazz Bites, while in KATE, LAB will be showing a selection of visually stunning films.

Admission is free, though some program elements require a donation or paid entry.

On October 12nd, during 24H Nieuw-West, Nieuw en Meer will open its doors to the public with music, art, a brocante market, and the Amsterdam Bridge Experience.

Thursday, October 4th, 5-6 PM Welcome Reception.

We are thrilled to introduce our new artist-in-residence at Nieuw en Meer; Petras LinceviČius from Lithuania.
With a multidisciplinary approach rooted in painting theory and artistic research, their practice delves into the complex themes of place, identity, and belonging within a globalized framework. Drawing inspiration from Philosophical Philotopy, Genius Loci, and Biomythography, they explore the intersections of ancestry, home, and personal narratives. By integrating diverse artistic disciplines and theoretical perspectives, their work fluidly adapts to the needs of each project. Their art serves as a deeply personal form of storytelling, weaving myth, history, and biography to offer fresh perspectives on how we perceive the world around us.
