New Art Space Amsterdam Details
Artist driven and alternative, New Art Space Amsterdam (NASA) is a permanent workshop, a lively urban space with real life events happening all the time. It's a dynamic, complex and mutating system of creation and exchange; a place of stimulation, refreshment, and adventure which reaches out beyond the confines of its walls to involve those in the City and far beyond. NASA is at the forefront of helping to introduce a new generation to the excitement we all feel when great art makes an impacton our lives. It is our mission to support extraordinary emerging talents in a new generation of creative artists and performers. NASA encourages practices that transcend reflexive observation by fostering artistic experimentation, questioning, and discovery in an active environment. NASA posits the political nature of artistic activity, and intends to be an institution that is part community facility, part laboratory, and part centre for academic inquiry. In this sense, NASA challenges the established exhibition function of institutional contemporary art spaces. NASA endeavours to embrace the spectrum of possibilities and to create a platform that is pivotal in asserting the role of young artists and cultural practitioners within contemporary life. NASA is the former SMART Project Space incorporating key elements of the former Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMk)
