Offspring 2022

De Ateliers proudly presents the 17th edition of Offspring, curated by Taylor Le Melle.

Participating artists: Vicente Baeza Zúñiga, Tild Greene, Lieve Hakkers, Tash Keddy, Brigitte Louter, Sam Marshall Lockyer, mhm, mhm, Dina Mimi, Horacy Muszyński and Marcella de Wolff.

For two years these ten individuals have devoted most of their time, most of their concentration, most of their waking hours to these walls and doors and floors and all the vast space in between, in short, to their work. And also to one another. A good part of these hours dealt with the restraints of a lockdown, many others with the shifts of institutional changes and still more (thankfully) with deliberations within their own, deeply individual practices. We now welcome you to an exhibition that concludes these two years.

Since 2006, De Ateliers presents its yearly final presentation under the Offspring-moniker. In this exhibition staged at De Ateliers’ monumental 19th century premises in the center of Amsterdam, participants concluding their two-year working period present their work. Each year, a guest curator is invited to curate the exhibition. Offspring 2022 is curated by writer Taylor Le Melle (Amsterdam).

You are cordially invited to the festive opening on Friday, October 28, 6–9pm.

Visit the exhibition from October 29–November 13 (Wednesday to Sunday), 12–6pm.

De Ateliers, an international artist institute in Amsterdam, founded in 1963, is generously supported by the benefactors of the Ateliers Support Fund and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
