Third edition. The Art Fair is organized by Galerie Jaap Sleper their affiliated galleries, network, artists, artist initiatives and sponsors, all on a non-profit basis. As the name suggests, is a reply/ response/ reaction to certain practices within the art.
For
the
third
successive
time,
the
Re:Rotterdam,
home
for
your
favourite
artists,
art
event
is
taking
place
in
Rotterdam.
The
event
is
on
Wednesday
6
up
to
and
including
Sunday
10
February
this
year
in
the
vacant
office
building
on
the
Blaak
in
Rotterdam
city
centre.
Re:Rotterdam
is
an
initiative
of
Galerie
Jaap
Sleper
(formerly
known
as
Galerie
10)
from
Utrecht.
Re:Rotterdam
2013
offers
even
more
innovative
modern
artists
than
in
previous
years
a
podium
to
present
themselves
on
a
floor
area
of
17,000
m2.
At
a
prominent
location
in
the
city
(right
next
to
the
Willem
de
Kooning
Academy),
this
time
the
work
of
approximately
175
young
artists
can
be
seen.
Amongst
them,
talked-‐about
artists
such
as
Lotte
Geeven,
V&B
(Alex
Jacobs
&
Ellemieke
Schoenmaker),
Pim
Palsgraaf,
Grenswerk
(Jeroen

Aagje

Mirka

Martijn

will
be
showing
their
work.
Galerie
Jaap
Sleper
is
again
organising
Re:Rotterdam
on
a
non-‐profit
basis.
"Artists
must
now
work
in
a
difficult
market
more
than
ever,"
says
initiator
Jaap
Sleper.
"Subsidies
no
longer
apply
and
artists
are
also
suffering
highly
from
the
recession.
We,
therefore,
like
to
offer
them
a
podium
and
ask
a
minimum
financial
contribution
for
this.
For
a
small
amount,
participating
artists
and
art
initiatives
and
collectives
can
set
up
their
own
stand
areas
in
the
former
offices."
The
Re:Rotterdam
organisation
makes
every
effort
to
ensure
costs
are
kept
as
low
as
possible.
"We
are,
of
course,
very
happy
with
the
vacant
office
building
that
our
sponsor
IVG
Vastgoed
has
made
available,"
says
the
gallery
owner
from
Utrecht.
"But
we
are
also
keeping
the
organisation
low
key
and
simple
and
are
being
assisted
by
volunteers.
We
are
only
selling
the
€
5
entry
tickets
at
the
entrance.
We,
therefore,
do
not
have
an
expensive
digital
reservation
and
presales
system.
This
would
only
represent
excessive
costs,"
says
Sleper.
"We
try
to
approach
the
market
in
a
new
and
different
manner
with
this
set-‐up."
