About W139
W139 is a presentation and production space for contemporary art. W139 was established in 1979 and in 2019 celebrates forty years of providing artists time and space for free explorations in the heart of Amsterdam.
As an open development-oriented and connective source of art, W139 aims to activate and stimulate artistic and intellectual freedom. To this end W139 offers a continuously renewing group of artists time, space and responsibility to initiate group exhibitions with their artistic practices and ambitions as starting point. During the process from idea to realisation the members of the W139 team offer their knowledges and skills to assist initiators and their groups in making sensory, sensitive and inclusive exhibitions. New initiating artists are selected from the group shows and on the basis of irregular Open Calls. Since 2017 individual artists and artist duos are invited to present new or existing work in the exhibition space on the first floor, the Polarroom.
