Wild Summer of Art

Founded by artist Joep van Lieshout in 2008, the Artist Driven Playground Brutus is host to massive, challenging performances, and group and solo exhibitions. With a mission to offer artists time, space and freedom to experiment at a massive scale. Next to 6000m2 of exhibition spaces and a sculpture garden, Brutus offers a residency and a grant. Brutus consists of 2 foundations: Brutus Space and Brutus Base. Brutus Base presents all projects and activities related to the work of Atelier Van Lieshout. Brutus Space does all projects and activities related to other artists.

For the second edition of Wild Summer of Art, 50 Rotterdam based artists exhibit work at Brutus, alongside a dynamic public program of events, screenings and performances guest-curated by Amira Gad in collaboration with Sophie de Vos. The selection came from nominations by an invited group of selectors who are well-versed with Rotterdam’s art scene.
