The second edition of RAW ART FAIR and RAW EXPO will be located in the monument warehouse Santos in the district of Katendrecht in Rotterdam. Katendrecht is traditionally the place where the first generation Chinese were established as labor-immigrants and embodies the stable relationship between Rotterdam and China. RAW CHINA EXPO choose to associate the exhibition with a theme this time, namely: China.
Piet de Jonge (former head-conservator of Kröller Müller Museum, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and Van Abbemuseum) will be the curator exhibition. This year he will be supported by Benjamin Li and Beatrijs Dikker. Owner and curator of Canvas International Art, Martijn Kielstra, is appointed as the adviser of the exhibition.
For the exhibition we are searching for Chinese artists who work or exhibit in the Netherlands, or artists who deal with the specific theme/subject of China in their work.
