IN THE DEPTHS OF BLUE THERE IS YELLOW
In the exhibition In the Depths of Blue there is Yellow, Kristoffer Zeiner brings together the work of Kim Wawer and Philip Coyne. In preparation for the exhibition, both artists read Gaston Bachelard’s essay Reveries of Material Interiority, in which he argues that objects possess inner worlds — endless repositories of ideas, associations, and connections, accessible through reverie and reflection.

A House Is Not a Home | Rein Kooyman
Josilda da Conceição presents Rein Kooyman’s solo exhibition “A House Is Not a Home”, with the official opening on Saturday, 18 October, from 16:00 to 19:00.“Once overlooked on the ground now transformed into spherical installations. Each stone in the collection is delicately knotted to hemp strings and individually assembled, demanding a meticulous commitment to physical and mental discipline. In this repetitive practice, done on-site at the gallery space, I experience a temporary simplification of my current human existence. Time becomes fluid: a space where past, present, and future blend seamlessly. The act of repetition releases time’s grasp, offering a momentary escape from the constraints we often impose on ourselves. To suspend the 2,000 stones used in the installation, four kilometers of threads are required. This results in a visual and tactile representation of my journey at National Parc des Écrins and the transformation of these ancient stones. Important to note is that the installation is temporary. After the presentation concludes, I will return the stones to their origins, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence and the impermanence of our human constructs.”

Amsterdam Art Week x Artropolis – a podcast exploring Amsterdam’s art ecosystem | Episode 1
Amsterdam Art Week and Artropolis have joined forces to create a new podcast series that explores the ecosystem of Amsterdam’s art world. In this series, interviewer, podcast producer, and art enthusiast Maaike Muis speaks with artists, curators, collectors, and gallery owners — the people shaping the city’s artistic landscape.
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.
Explore: New Realities & the Intersection of Art and Technology
In a world increasingly mediated by technology, our understanding of what is real is shifting. Within this theme artists explore how we could engage with these emerging technologies — from AI and digital media to simulation and data processing. Throughout their search the artists question, reshape, and expand human perception.
