Introduction film, Reflections

To explore the art fair and find your own personal way to the art that inspires you the most Art Rotterdam made an effort to provide extra information on and around the fair so you have a clear view of what’s on show. For instance, the Dutch art critic Hans den Hartog Jager will illustrate his personal highlights of the fair in a film. This film is on show at Intersections and is the ideal starting point for your visit to the fair. Encounters is the name of a three-day debate-programme initiated by Galerie West, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and the magazine for contemporary art Metropolis M. To inform you digitally of what’s on show at Art Rotterdam we have teamed up exclusively with the digital art platform Artsy.net. A week before the fair starts you can browse through the website and see what will be presented by the galleries as well as background information of various artists.

Experience Art Rotterdam in the breathtaking spaces of the Van Nellefabriek, a Unesco World Heritage Site, from Thursday 11 - Sunday 14 February 2016.
