De Appel Amsterdam (The Apple)

Foundation for contemporary art

When in April of 2006 Ann Demeester was selected as the new director of De Appel Foundation in Amsterdam, she compared her post to guiding a spaceship. Before De Appel, Demeester worked already with the pope of the contemporary art critics Jan Hoet, at SMAK in Belgium and later at the fabulous MARTa museum in Harford, Germany. Under the new guidance, De Appel aims at a large public but does not make any compromise. Its exhibitions are carefully selected, valuable, essential.

De Appel has also a small, selective modern art public library (call first for appointment), focused on what De Appel did since its creation in 1975.

The feel:
Exciting, new, modern. But not for the consumers. You have to bring yourself to participate. For people who do not like or simply do not want to see what modern art is today, we issue a warning – they will not be happy at De Appel.

Open: different time for each event

Address:
De Appel has lost its permanent location at the Nieuwe Spiegelgracht.

In the period April 1 – December 31, 2009 the foundation organizes events in different venues in Amsterdam, some of them at the location De Appel has been created, at Brouwersgracht 196.
