Boetzelaer|Nispen

Boetzelaer|Nispen was initiated in Shoreditch London in October 2011 by Linda van Nispen tot Pannerden and Marnix van Boetzelaer and is now located in Amsterdam

In its first year Boetzelaer|Nispen programmed with a project space style approach, not forming long term commitments and hosting many group projects. The gallery chose to combine interesting young artists from both London and the Netherlands. After running this programme successfully for a year Linda and Marnix decided that it was time to take things further and figured that it’s programming would have more urgency in another context. They chose to start operating Boetzelaer|Nispen from Amsterdam as a more conventional gallery.

In October 2012 Boetzelaer|Nispen re-opened in a large space in Amsterdam’s old west. The gallery started off with representation of four artists: Michael John Whelan, Peter Lamb, Anouk Kruithof and Christopher Kulendran Thomas. All had been closely involved with the gallery in its first year. In Amsterdam Boetzelaer|Nispen runs a very internationally oriented programme with attention to mostly Dutch and British developments in contemporary art. All artists represented by the gallery share a common sensitivity to both medium and context, thus making works that are in a way aware of themselves and their surroundings.

Recently Boetzelaer|Nispen added Jonas Lund and Bob Eikelboom to its rostrum of represented artists. The gallery has been present at Art Brussels, Art Rotterdam, A Petite Fair and Unseen Photography Fair Amsterdam.
