W139 turns exhibiting into a collective experiment

On Warmoesstraat, W139 produces changing contemporary art with performances, talks and screenings, without a permanent museum collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Work made on site

Artists may change the space during production. Look for traces of the build, choice of materials and collaboration, and ask which parts were made specially for W139.

A context programme alongside the exhibition

A talk, performance or screening can temporarily change the way the exhibition works. Check the date and capacity; office hours do not mean access to the programme.

Collectively organised

The production space gives artists room for experiment and shared decision-making. Read who is curator, participant or organiser, and avoid presenting one name as the sole author.

Before you go

Exhibition Wednesday–Sunday 12.00–18.00; closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Office hours are not public opening hours.
