ROZENSTRAAT – a rose is a rose is a rose

ROZENSTRAAT – a rose is a rose is a rose is a presentation space for contemporary visual art, with a particular focus on performance and video art. As one of the last independent spaces for contemporary art in the rapidly changing centre of Amsterdam, ROZENSTRAAT aims to be a lively place for reflection and encounter.

We are artist-driven: artists are central to what we do, and we make every effort to support them and their work and career. We encourage artists with an already defined art practice to make new strides and bring forgotten pioneers back into the spotlight. For each exhibition we commission new work, actively contributing to their artistic development. Through solo exhibitions, long-term research projects, and a dynamic public programme with reading groups, salons and performances, we introduce our audience to the artists’ ideas and inspirations.
