ART Rotterdam

Rotterdam Plaza is the new projectspace of the Piet Zwart Institute, located on the square at Karel Doormanhof 45, Rotterdam. Referring to its original meaning as ‘field’ in an open urban public space, the plaza is the centre of community life. This is the place where in its -traditional setting, the military would parade, where during crisis or fiesta crowds would gather, and where the daily market would take place. Today, the word ‘plaza’ is also often used for ‘shopping mall’ as point of daily attention. Rotterdam Plaza functions as a platform of exchange of the public and closed activities of the Piet Zwart community. In the spirit of the plaza, Rotterdam Plaza will house an event during the Art Rotterdam fair on Saturday evening.

Art Rotterdam is an innovative and trendsetting international art fair in the Netherlands. Every February, the old cruise terminal building of the Holland America Line is transformed into an art venue with numerous galleries from different countries who present their most talented artists.
