Programme
Material Girl | Group Exhibition
Enari Gallery is proud to present Material Girl. This group exhibition brings together eleven (inter)national contemporary artists whose works engage with materiality as an idea, examining how images evoke texture, excess, and desire, rather than relying on physical matter alone. The exhibition considers painting as a site where material culture, symbolism, and visual language intersect.
16 Jan up to 1 Mar — Enari Gallery
Back and Forth and Back Again 40 Years
To mark its 40th anniversary, Lumen Travo Gallery presents a group exhibition that honors the gallery’s legacy and celebrates its deep-rooted influence on Amsterdam’s contemporary art scene since the early 1980s.
31 Oct up to 21 Feb — Lumen Travo Gallery
The Broken Pitcher
The collaborative project The Broken Pitcher by Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Marina Christodoulidou and Peter Eramian, traces the effects of financialisation and austerity by looking at the banking system and the potentials for changing the script of interacting with it. Starting in 2020, gatherings and workshops have been at the core of its making, in order to rehearse structures and formats of working together, scripting, and researching the context of foreclosures in relation to debt and coloniality, to counter the isolation and desperation they produce. To this end, the project has foregrounded the practice of collectivity.
17 Jan up to 20 Mar — De AppelAmsterdam Art strengthens and connects Amsterdam’s contemporary art scene, bringing together artists and institutions to engage both local and international audiences. In 2025, Amsterdam Art Week will take place from 20-25 May, featuring an inspiring programme of exhibitions, tours, and special events.

Explore: Materiality & Craft
Materials and craftsmanship are important themes in contemporary art. The physical properties of materials and the processes of making can determine the meaning and our perception of artworks. The following exhibitions show in different ways how artists work with materials and craft techniques to explore deeper concepts and ideas about the physical world.
