comunicato stampa

From 24 February to 28 February 2005 the Cruise Terminal Rotterdam will become an international podium for modern and contemporary art.

The international selection committee has invited 73 participants from Germany, the UK, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, the US and Switzerland: they will be showing the latest developments in modern and contemporary art. The participants were selected for their daring programmes, their mentality and urge for renewal.

The accent in past years was on the credo “quality in the widest sense” the accent on this, the sixth fair, will also be on quality but on modern cutting edge art as well. Exciting, surprising art, giving visitors a good insight into current developments.

Secretary of State for Education, Culture and Science, Medy van der Laan, will be opening the sixth Art Rotterdam and from February 24th to 28th the Cruise Terminal Rotterdam will be transformed into an international platform for fine art.

AVL at Art Rotterdam
This year the pivot of Art Rotterdam will be Atelier Van Lieshout and during the opening Joep van Lieshout will present the first illycaffè espresso cup designed in the Netherlands to Secretary of State Medy van der Laan. On Thursday February 24th at 4 PM Joep van Lieshout will be giving the NRC/ Art Rotterdam lecture (in Dutch). During the fair there is also a special presentation by Atelier Vn Lieshout in the VIP lounge.

Winner of the Shell Young Art Award
The Shell Young Art Award 2004 was presented in December 2004 to Wipke Iwersen (Berlin, 1971).
With nautical charts she designed herself, a fascinating windseeker and an unmanned boat ‘that goes to where the wind comes from’ Wipke Iwersen created her own image of the world. An important part of her work is a seaworthy boat that is being shown at Art Rotterdam and which is expected to be making its maiden voyage in the not too distant future.

Damien Hirst in the miniature museum
During Art Rotterdam there will be several top exhibits from the Reflex miniature museum on show including an original work by Damien Hirst measuring 10 x 5 x 5 cm. The Reflex miniature museum is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s smallest museum. The collection currently has approximately 1700 miniature works of art from more than 700 artists.

MAMA showroom
The MAMA showroom is presenting a gigantic interactive dog by Freek Wieringa and new work by the Japanese artist Masahiro Fukayama, who is showing body armour that transforms the wearer into a fantastic dog. There will also be work on show for the first time In the Netherlands by Katie Grinnan. This great American talent could previously be seen at the Whitney Biennale in New York.
