Rotterdam Cultural Histories #18: The 1980s art scene on the Witte de Withstraat
This edition of Rotterdam Cultural Histories focuses on the art scene of the Witte de Withstraat in the 1980s. A documentary exhibition, it presents images and materials of the art initiative Het Veem, as well as three art galleries: Galerie Snoei, Galerie van Mourik, and Tudelu Galerie. Their spaces were all sited on the Witte de Withstraat during that decade. Also presented are photographs commissioned to Jannes Linders. These picture the current use of the original location of these art spaces. The aim of this exhibition is to examine the role these art spaces played in shaping the artistic climate of our street and to acknowledge the ways in which they lay the ground for the founding of our institution here.
