Date
The New Current
The New Current is a Rotterdam based platform for artists at the start of their careers. In an annual exhibition, The New Current presents young, recently graduated artists from all over the Netherlands to a wide ranging public during the Rotterdam Art Week. Through this exhibition, TNC aims to improve the visibility and position of upcoming artists. Room is given to experimentation, large installations, new techniques and forms of presentation such as audiovisual art and crossovers. Focussing on video art, installations and performances, The New Current translates complex works of art into a unique experience. Everything is carefully coordinated – from the works to the atmosphere and the catering. The performance programme contributes to an enhanced experience, allowing for a cross-pollination between different artistic disciplines, while reaching new audiences. To increase the impact of participation, there is a development program prior to the event which supports artists in the transition from the academy to the professional field. The development program extends beyond the participating exhibitors and is openly accessible for interested artists and makers.
