ART ROTTERDAM WEEK

For the 15th edition of Art Rotterdam, which kicks off next week, there is a change of venue bringing the contemporary art fair under one very convenient roof. Main, New Art and Projections; the second edition of the innovative video section, will take place in and around the Van Nellefabriek (an icon of post WW I modern architecture and is nominated to be listed on the Unesco World Heritage List) which will include numerous pop-up shows and artist presentations.

Alongside the internationally attended fair Rotterdam culture really kicks up a gear with events happening throughout the city. From the 4th-9th February installations, pop-ups, performances and exhibitions take over spaces, hotels, bars and galleries making it the perfect time to visit the city. New festival Art at the Warehouse will also take place during the 5 days.

One of Rotterdam’s premier art spaces, The Kunsthal, presents a new exhibition dedicated to the Shoe. “S.H.O.E.S” – Sexy Heels Or Easy Sandals” – will exhibit more than 500 shoes created by celebrated designers such as André Perugia and Salvatore Ferragamo, international “stars” Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, as well as contemporary and rising young talent.
