    We will celebrate the amazing first year of the gallery, before our space closes temporarily for renovations. We think back on the year we’ve added to our résumé and all the new people we’ve met.

    It is not only to a successful year for us, but also the amazing artists we had the pleasure to host. We want to give them a final chance to present their work in our gallery before closing.

    The ‘+1’ exposition has a unique and new approach. Aside from inviting known names from the gallery, such as Jean-marc Spaans, Lenny Stöpp, Isabelle Backer, Gillian Bolton and many more, these artists will all bring their own +1. A group exhibition with known and new names, as fits the spirit of N_W Art Gallery perfectly; embracing our history, yet at the same time ushering in new life in the gallery world.

    Gillian Bolton, Pim Schumacher, Lennart Heiner, Terry Cole, Rosaline van der Horst, Justine Ellul, Tineke Porck, Matthijs van Zessen, Lenny Stöpp, Zowie Smeets, Hara Anthanasopoulou, Pearl Sijmons, Isabelle Backer, Esther Hoogendijk, Daniel Heikens, Heather Visser, Jean-Marc Spaans, Nino Calos, Studio Earthling, and Het Verbod.

    About the group exhibition ‘Inside Out’

    Inside Out brings together artists from See Lab in a collaborative exploration of their individual studio practices. The exhibition reflects on the significance of having a personal space for creation – a safe environment that shelters and shapes the thoughts and ideas of artists, giving them the physical space to let these evolve into different materialities.

    There is an inherent vulnerability in the act of moving artworks from the privacy of the studio into the public sphere. Inside Out reveals this intimate process, turning emotions and ideas outward, not only into a physical but also a public realm. Through a wide range of different materials, from atmospheric paintings to edible sculptures and performative acts, the exhibition makes visible the nuance of the artists’ minds and emotions, and the diverse ways they give form to these inner worlds.

    Through the interplay between diverse artworks and materialities, See Lab’s project space becomes a transitional area – where the private and the public, the inner and the outer, converge. Here, the thoughts, experiments, and emotions nurtured in the safety of the studio are not only transformed into physical form but also revealed in a visible space, vulnerable to the dialogue between works and the encounter with the public gaze. Inside Out invites visitors to witness this unfolding process, where creation and visibility intertwine, and the usually hidden layers of artistic practice are slowly revealed.
