Hear, hear! New Science Gallery Rotterdam in Museumpark!
Join the free Friday Night Art Walk with special guests Fred Balvert (Erasmus MC) - Director of the new Science Gallery Rotterdam and Curator & author William Myers.
Be one of the first to be introduced to Science Gallery Rotterdam concept, a new exciting initiative of Erasmus MC, that connects biomedical science, art and society with transdisciplinary exhibitions, events and educational programs.
We take Balvert's route through Museumpark, along Depot Boijmans van Beuningen, into Erasmus MC - an impressive compact, efficient and integrated building by EGM architects. We check the Passage of the new Erasmus MC location to see where UN)REAL - the first pop-up exhibition, will open in April. Follow public art out- and inside the building and look at work by Picasso, Bier en Brood, Jaume Plensa, Ron van der Ende, Stephan Balkenhol, Richard Artschwager, and Thomas Schütte - one of the highlights from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen's sculpture collection. As four sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Aristide Maillol, Charlotte van Pallandt, and Marcello Mascherini, are presented in the sculpture garden at the Erasmus MC. In this location in the hospital, where the body is the primary focus, the sculptures explore the strength and vulnerability of what it means to be human. It promises to be an exciting, inspiring walk and as always expect to see the unexpected. And if you play the piano, we'll give you a stage.
The Friday Night Art Walk is part of Art Rotterdam Week - Kunstavond XL and collaboration with CBK Rotterdam. Each walk is unique, as we invite a special guest as side-kick and create a route together.
Register in advance to secure your spot as there is a limited number of places for this walk.
