Context

ICKamsterdam offers the opportunity to work on research and development. Central to it are the research, the dialogue and indeed the confrontation with and between the invited makers. It is an open meeting place for Dutch and foreign artists as temporary guests: a welcoming, supportive place that is in constant evolution due to the temporary injections of ‘the strange element’. A good place to stay, open to creation, observation, analysis, development and reflection.

In keeping with this, ICKamsterdam positions itself in a local, national and international context. The centre, the residents and guests play an active role in the network of Amsterdam artists and art institutions, the projects enjoys a firm national and international distribution and collaborative relations with foreign artists and organizations are inherent in the operation of the centre.

ICKamsterdam is the place where productions are created indoors that will subsequently reach out to a wider audience out of doors – on stages nationally and abroad. Moreover, ICKamsterdam is also the laboratory, the nursery that every art form has need of. The doors are always open and public presentations and events form a regular part of the schedule.
