Framer Framed Information

Framer Framed is a platform for contemporary art, visual culture, and critical theory and practice. Each year the organisation presents a variety of exhibitions alongside diverse cultural and educational programs at its main location in Amsterdam Oost, as well as its project space Werkplaats Molenwijk in Amsterdam Noord. With the belief that critical and contextualised programming is best explored with an open door and low threshold, Framer Framed’s public programs are always free of charge and resources are made readily available to emerging and established local and transnational communities, artists, and curators to turn their own ideas into tangible realities. Visitors are seen as co-creators and are given the time, support, and facilities to put their own musings to practice. This invitational approach opens avenues of shared ownership, allowing collaborators to engage in and with their own networks, niches, and subcultures. Framer Framed regularly commissions and co-produces new artworks and publications, organises international projects, and houses a bookshop and open reading space. Framer Framed is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Stadsdeel Oost and VriendenLoterij Fonds.
