{"id":10970,"count":12,"description":"<h2>Amsterdam Now features galleries in Amsterdam that matter - from commercial galleries in the canal belt to experimental art spaces in Noord.<\/h2>\r\nAmsterdam has a wide range of independent galleries scattered throughout the city, with new exhibitions and art events on an ongoing basis. The gallery scene in Amsterdam is thus a living part of cultural life, not only for collectors but also for anyone who wants to come into contact with contemporary art on a regular basis.\r\n<h2><strong>Commercial galleries<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nMost of Amsterdam's commercial galleries are located in the city center and the Spiegelkwartier - the area around Spiegelgracht and Nieuwe Spiegelstraat, traditionally the center of Amsterdam's art trade. Here, galleries with classical painting, antiques and contemporary art alternate. The Spiegelkwartier is compact enough to visit several galleries in an afternoon.\r\n<h2><strong>Contemporary art<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nDe hedendaagse kunstsc\u00e8ne in Amsterdam heeft een breed palet aan galeries die zich richten op nationaal en internationaal werk. Lumen Travo, opgericht in 1985, is een van de langstlopende hedendaagse galeries van de stad en programmeert werk dat zich bezighoudt met identiteit, representatie en actuele maatschappelijke thema's. Galerie Fons Welters in de Jordaan richt zich op jong en experimenteel talent. Dit type galerie werkt doorgaans op afspraak of met vaste openingstijden rondom tentoonstellingswisselingen.\r\n<h2><strong>Experimental and alternative spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIn addition to the established galleries, Amsterdam has a circuit of smaller, more experimental art spaces. Amsterdam-Noord - particularly around the NDSM terrain - has developed as a breeding ground for this type of initiative. Former industrial buildings provide space for galleries, studios and project spaces that more often work with installations, performance and interdisciplinary art.\r\n<h2><strong>Amsterdam Art Week<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAmsterdam Art Week vindt jaarlijks plaats in november en brengt een programma van tentoonstellingen, rondleidingen en speciale events samen. Het is het moment waarop veel galeries tegelijk openen, wisselen of bijzondere programma's presenteren \u2014 een praktisch moment om een groot deel van het galerielandschap in korte tijd te verkennen.\r\n<h2><strong>Photography<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAmsterdam has a remarkably strong selection of photo galleries. Reflex Amsterdam programs work by internationally renowned photographers and presents several solo and group exhibitions each year. There are also smaller galleries and project spaces that focus specifically on documentary or artistic photography.","link":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/tag\/galeries-amsterdam\/","name":"Galeries","slug":"galleries-amsterdam","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/10970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=10970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
