Onderzeebootloods

Between 2010 and 2013 Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen reconnoitred its borders in Rotterdam’s dockland. The Port of Rotterdam gave the museum the chance to use the 5,000 m2 Submarine Wharf as an open house for talent and new challenges. The museum is honouring this project with a book, recording the layers of history in this unique place.0The lavishly illustrated publication looks back over the four-year Submarine Wharf project with individual essays and splendid images from the four exhibitions. Director Sjarel Ex has written about the creation of the joint venture between the port and the museum and Maartje Berendsen - project manager for art at the Port of Rotterdam Authority for the four exhibitions - has written an essay on the history of the RDM site. There will be an intimate display on the four exhibitions in the museum to coincide with the book’s launch. A combination of photographic documentation, essays and videos paints a picture of the different exhibitions. The videos can also be watched on ARTtube.nl.0Exhibition: Museum Boijmans-Van Beuningen/Submarine Wharf Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2010-2013).
