Zwerk

About the exhibition

Zwerk is an exhibition centered on the poetic Dutch word for ‘sky’. The term evokes images of a continuously shifting expanse of clouds, symbolizing freedom, space, and boundlessness. Yet within that vastness also arise manifestations of disorientation, estrangement, and threat — and a sense of our own insignificance in the face of the immeasurable.

Zwerk brings together 13 international artists working in film, painting, and photography. The exhibition features films by Yael Bartana, Wangechi Mutu, and Nicolas Provost; photography by Wolfgang Tillmans, Thomas Ruff, and Natalie Czech; and paintings by Bhasha Chakrabarti, Matthew Day Jackson, Janis Avotiņš, Lieven Hendriks, Salvo, and Dana Powell. A new site-specific installation by Henk Stallinga anchors the exhibition.

Curated by Annemarie Galani, Zwerk is presented at On The Inside, an independent platform for contemporary art at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam.

Please note: The exhibition will be closed December 24,2025 untill January 1, 2026.
