Welcome at ndsm

NDSM in Amsterdam-Noord is a creative hotspot spanning no less than 10 hectares. What was once an industrial shipyard has become a vibrant area filled with makers, art, culture, hospitality, and innovative entrepreneurship. With impressive views, art in the public space, and plenty of freedom to explore, NDSM is the place where ideas grow and stories come together.

STRAAT museum launches her new exhibition, The Essence, on April 10th. It’s all about diving into what drives graffiti - the names, tags, lines and repetition - as its own visual language. The show follows graffiti’s journey from the underground in New York City to a global movement that inspires modern art. To celebrate the opening, the legendary graffiti artist Bill Blast (Wise/William Cordero) will create new work, give an interview and sign blackbooks on April 11th.

In this fifth edition, the diversity of expression takes center stage. The works range from figuratie to abstract and show how artists look at the world and use their imagination. Every artist works in their own way, with different materials like paint, chalk, collage, and plexiglass. It is precisely these differences that make the exhibition interesting and together create a strong whole

13:00-18:00

Traditionally, artists have united in shared workspaces. Sometimes out of financial necessity, but soon followed by collegiality and friendship in the creation of artworks. This cross-pollination brings new insights but raises questions, such as those concerning authorship: what emerges when different art forms come together? Is there room for multiple individuals within a single artwork?

Lusthoven have a rich history as places that were meant to stimulate the senses. At the same time, they increasingly became an exclusive place for the wealthy owners to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. One example is the private Lusthoven aan de Vecht, where only wealthy Amsterdammers used to go. With this contemporary NDSM Lusthof, you can Studio Ossidiana a parallel between the pleasure gardens of yesteryear and the courtyards of today's apartment complexes, which are often only accessible to owners or tenants.

Under Pressure

CATARINA GARCIA & JIM DU PAN

Locatie

NDSM-werf - Kraan 7

Under Pressure is the winning project of the NDSM Open Call 2023 by Catarina Garcia and Jim Du Pan. The winning proposal consists of a colossal steel sphere that appears to rise above the shipyard. The base of the work is formed by Crane 7, a derelict crane that in its heyday transported pieces of steel from the warehouse to the slipways, where ships were assembled and restored. The sphere is illuminated from within and functions as a beacon of light for the surrounding area, also visible from the water. The frame of the sphere is wrapped in plants that change with the seasons.
