Nieuw en Meer, a leading Amsterdam artist collective, houses 100+ workshops/studios, significantly shaping the city's creative and ecological landscapes and enriching its vibrant cultural tapestry.
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.
Since the beginning of 2014 the artist community Nieuw en Meer offers a studio special for guests. The residence is open to artists of all disciplines and for a period of one up to three months. Read more about Artist in Residence
Read moreOriginally the Nieuw en Meer complex was a weapons and ammunition depot of Defense. The first buildings date from 1918 and were part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam. Until the early eighties of the 20th century the site was in use of Defense. After the last conflict in 1962 in, at that time, ‘Dutch New Guinea’, the military stores fell into disuse.
On June 25, 1988, when Marco van Basten caused a collective ecstasy in the Netherlands, the buildings at Oude Haagseweg 51 at the outskirt of Amsterdam, were squatted by a group of artists an activists from the squat at Conradstraat 11.
