Project 2.0 Gallery

Gallery of modern art in Noordeinde street, The Hague

A true connoisseur recognizes an work of art by its intrinsic, timeless quality. Value is not determined by price or pretentions, but by a singular quality that connects the artist to those enjoying their work. This conviction forms the foundation of Project 2.0 / Gallery: a gallery of modern art that is ambitious rather than pretentious. We are not afraid to stray from the beaten track now and then. We have proven, time and time again, that there is no dichotomy between quality and accessibility in art. Over the past few years, groups of artists and art lovers have attached themselves to Project 2.0 / Gallery. Together with us, they have discovered new experiences in art appreciation. We cordially invite you to join them.

The Sculpture Gallery

The Sculpture Gallery (after a concept by P. Struycken in the early 1990s) is an initiative by Stroom Den Haag. It showcases a gallery of sculptures, placed on pedestals, placed every 25 meters in the pedestrian area of the Grote Markstraat, Kalvermarkt and Spui. Forty Dutch sculptors have been or will be invited to produce a sculpture for this area. Struycken introduced the pedestal because it creates a bond, both literally and figuratively, between the urban environment and sculpture. As each artist is required to conform to the same dimensions, visual coherence is maintained within the diversity of solutions on an urban scale. In 2011 artist Andre Kruysen took over as curator of the sculpture gallery.

The Grey Space in the Middle

The Grey Space in the Middle is a space for fundamental creativity where art, digital culture, science, technology, and philosophy merge in a post-disciplinary state. It is a project and presentation space, music and performance venue and cafe. Within the programming The Grey Space in the Middle explicitly strives for anti-disciplinairity; the space that exists between the hermetic disciplines and program formats. A symposium on the ground floor effortlessly transitions into a performance in the basement or a listening session at the bar, an exhibition and film screening go hand in hand and is fluidly transformed to a sensory dinner or a theater performance. However diverse, the different program domains are complementary with a major role for the experience of the audience.

Stroom Den Haag

Stroom Den Haag (an independent foundation founded in 1990) is an art center with a wide range of activities. Starting from the visual arts, architecture, urban planning and design the program focuses on the urban environment. Stroom’s policy is not committed to any particular movement. The center is open to everyone with stimulating ideas or a need for information regarding art and the urban environment. It aims at being a hospitable and stimulating platform. Starting from this mentality Stroom, in collaboration with other institutions, wants to contribute to the permanent development of the reflection on the city and the part that can be played by the visual arts in this context.

Parts Project

Collectors look at a lot of art – and they view it with keen eyes. They make unforced, often idiosyncratic choices. PARTS bases its programming on those individualistic choices and takes collectors’ discoveries, opinions and experiences as the jumping-off points for all its exhibitions. PARTS is a private initiative. Through its programming, it seeks not only to broaden the Dutch art field but also motivate collectors to share their works and their passion.

Accessibility: Accessible for all types of wheelchairs, and no adapted toilet available at this location.

The space works essentially as a bookshop, stocking artists’ books, zines and out-of-print editions, and as a platform for artists’ talks and projects which focus on their publishing practice. This initiative is kindly supported by Stroom Den Haag.

Galerie Ramakers

Galerie Ramakers (founded in 1994) is located at the heart of the gallery district in The Hague opposite the Dutch Royal Gardens. Catalijn Ramakers, founder of the gallery wanted to create an exhibition space to express her highly personal taste in art: a mixture of minimalist art, intertwined with a fascination for contemporary surreal trends has been the hallmark of her exhibitions. Some of her artists express an ongoing love for nature, which results in a mere representation of natural elements. The artists represented by the gallery have a certain subtlety in their visual language in common. Besides traditional media such as painting, sculpture and drawing, you will also find new media art, site specific works and installations in the gallery.

Accessibility: Accessible for all types of wheelchairs, and no adapted toilet available at this location.

Galerie Maurits van de Laar

The gallery, established in 1991, focuses on art in which the personal involvement and engagement of the artist emerges. There is an emphasis on drawings because ideas are first formed here, the informality and directness of the medium make that the artist gives himself away most in drawing. Painting shown in the gallery is mostly figurative, here too the personal is important besides individual character or recalcitrance. Three dimensional work has an outspoken personal form language or experiments with new ways of inhabiting spaces and exploring natural processes. In addition there is the awareness, that a gallery should be a stage for experiment also. At least once a year an artist realizes an installation or a project in the gallery.

Accessibility: Accessible for all types of wheelchairs, and no adapted toilet available at this location.

Dürst Britt & Mayhew

Dürst Britt & Mayhew was founded in The Hague in 2015 by curator Jaring Dürst Britt and art critic Alexander Mayhew. We chose The Hague as a homebase for the gallery, because of its flourishing climate for contemporary art and an abundance of experimental non-for-profit spaces.

Dürst Britt & Mayhew is committed to helping artists from different national and artistic backgrounds to further develop their practice. The gallery offers a platform for a more experimental approach to making exhibitions with the aim of reaching both Dutch and international audiences. In the gallery we make five shows a year, allowing artists to use the rough space, which used to be a garage, as they see fit. At art fairs we prefer to bring solo-booths or tightly curated group presentations, as we see the fairs as an extension of our gallery space and programme. The past five years we have participated in amongst others LISTE – Art Fair Basel, NADA Miami, Independent Brussels, ARCO Madrid, Artissima (Turin) and SUNDAY (London).
