Why getting lost in Amsterdam Art Week might be the only way to find what matters
“Amsterdam Art Week crystallises this experience across the phases of the day, from the sunlit work of the Rijksakademie, to the afternoon glamour of the major gallery shows, and trailing off with the personal delights of night-time rambles through the central district with this plethora of small galleries tempting the passer-by with window displays of restrained promise. It’s within the specificities of each moment that we can approach the larger questions: what makes Amsterdam a good site for art? 2025 is a political year so how is that reflected in Amsterdam’s art? Signs of growth, signs of life? What’s next?”
