Partners
Kunstpodium T
Since its founding in 2007, Kunstpodium T in Tilburg has focused on the development of talent in the visual arts. Its core objective is to support the early-career phase of (professional) artistic talent through a range of projects. The Apprentice Master project offers an intensive collaborative trajectory between recently graduated artists from various academies (the Apprentices) and established artists (the Masters). ARTpart is a low-threshold helpdesk where artists can discuss current questions, whether practical or content-related. Through its projects, Kunstpodium T makes visible how the cultural network and infrastructure are structured, and how (emerging) artists can find their place within them. Kunstpodium T has been involved in Inversie since its first edition and contributes to the programme with a focus on entrepreneurship, the Peer Critique Sessions, and the development and organisation of the symposium.
TAC
TAC (Temporary Art Centre) is a creative incubator and cultural meeting place in Eindhoven. TAC offers promising makers the opportunity to develop their practice and present their work to a wider audience. The organisation provides eighty workspaces and studios for emerging professional artists from diverse disciplines, and programmes exhibitions, lectures, workshops and a music programme. At the core of its projects and collaborations is an emphasis on artistic working attitudes and processes. TAC acts as the lead partner and is responsible for the administrative coordination of the Inversie project.
Witte Rook,
Witte Rook is a platform for research, experimentation and reflection in professional visual art, with a strong focus on societal issues. Its programme is based on providing time, space and context through long-term projects in which the artist’s voice is central. There is particular attention to publishing on artistic processes and to the influence of digital culture on art and society. The name Witte Rook refers to a “sign of approval,” reflecting a belief in working from a curious and open mindset. In the coming years, Witte Rook aims to play a leading role in shaping the narrative of the artist by focusing on digital storytelling and hybrid residency projects that explore what an “Artist-in-Residence of the future” might be. Witte Rook has been involved in Inversie since its first edition and contributes to the programme through communication (including application texts), publication and editorial work. Additional expertise includes residencies, work periods and the development of writing practices.
Grafisch Atelier Den Bosch
Graphic Atelier Den Bosch (GADE) offers artists, designers and creatives a well-equipped workshop with expert guidance and an environment dedicated to experimentation. The atelier functions both as a development space and a meeting place, serving as a crossroads where makers from different disciplines learn from one another and build networks. As a workshop, GADE mediates between technical knowledge, materials and artistic practice, and has observed a growing interest among younger generations in experimentation rooted in craftsmanship. Within Inversie, GADE aims to stimulate this development and contribute to strengthening the cultural infrastructure. Innovation in visual art through graphic techniques is central, enabling both artists and the workshop to continue learning together. “Projects like Inversie, where we can experiment and innovate together with image-makers, truly energise us. Supporting artists with our expertise allows them to push their boundaries while contributing to a stronger cultural climate. Inversie is a meaningful way for us to take part in this process.”
Van Abbemuseum
Het Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is een van de meest toonaangevende musea voor hedendaagse kunst in Europa. Het museum heeft een uitgebreide internationale collectie van ruim 3.600 kunstwerken. Het museum stelt vragen op het gebied van kunst en samenleving op een experimentele manier aan de orde.
Openheid, gastvrijheid en kennisuitwisseling zijn voor het Van Abbemuseum van belang en we prikkelen onszelf en onze bezoekers om over onderwerpen na te denken, bijvoorbeeld over de rol van de collectie als cultureel ‘geheugen’ of over het museum als publieke ruimte. Door internationale samenwerking en uitwisseling is het Van Abbemuseum bovendien een plaats waar creatieve kruisbestuiving plaatsvindt. Een bron van verwondering, inspiratie en verbeelding.
Galerie Ruby Soho
Ruby Soho is the gallery and project space founded by Caspar Herselman, located in the former gatekeeper’s house of the iconic Willem II Factory in ’s-Hertogenbosch. It is a platform where contemporary art, countercultures, aesthetics and activism intersect. Ruby Soho functions as a vibrant community of established and emerging artists and as a hub for discovering artists and their work, as well as initiating collaborations on site or in public space. The gallery represents and presents artists based on their working methods and motivations within the (art) world. These core values transcend discipline, ensuring that execution always serves the message. Spaces such as Ruby Soho act as catalysts for the current and future cultural infrastructure of a city.
Willem Twee Kunstruimte
Willem Twee Kunstruimte is located in the former Willem Twee cigar factory in ’s-Hertogenbosch, together with Willem Twee pop venue, the Toonzaal, Willem Twee Studios (at a separate location) and Graphic Atelier Den Bosch. The building also houses various studios for autonomous, applied and performing artists, and is shared with several organisations connected to or working within the Willem Twee Factory. As a partner in Inversie, Willem Twee Kunstruimte seeks to strengthen connections with other cultural partners and artists, contributing to the cultural infrastructure of Brabant. Within the programme, Willem Twee Kunstruimte brings curatorial expertise, sharing knowledge and insights into collaboration between artist and curator, and advising Inversie participants on the professional development of exhibition concepts. Additionally, artists are given the opportunity to submit and develop proposals for the Spiegelzaal.
Het Noordbrabants Museum
Small changes in people can lead to major developments over time. Het Noordbrabants Museum aims to serve as a bridge between people and ideas. Rooted in Brabant, the museum fosters an empathetic approach, allowing visitors to experience and perceive the world differently through the connection between art and history. By connecting people, art and history with a strong sense of empathy, the museum contributes to positive societal change.
Stedelijk Museum Breda
Stedelijk Museum Breda is the youngest city museum in the Netherlands, yet its history dates back to 1903 with the founding of Breda’s first municipal historical museum. Following name changes and mergers, the museum now focuses on presenting and contextualising historical and contemporary art in and about Breda, forging connections within and beyond the city to generate new perspectives. The collaboration with Inversie contributes to the museum’s ambition to develop as a key regional player in knowledge exchange between different generations of artists. It also strengthens reflection on the role and meaning of the museum and its collection, stimulates the development of emerging artists, and reinforces the network of visual arts organisations in the region. Through this partnership, Stedelijk Museum Breda offers insight into museum practices that form an essential link in an artist’s professional career.
EMOVES
Since 2012, EMOVES has grown into a fundamental presence within the urban culture of Eindhoven. Rather than offering a single annual presentation moment, EMOVES is active throughout the year with workshops, events, exhibitions and a talent development programme for artistic makers. Whether you are looking for the latest developments in street culture, interviews with local talents, or practical information about events and activities, EMOVES functions as the key platform for street and city culture in Eindhoven and the surrounding region.
