Featured Events in Amsterdam in June, 2025 (May Updated)

The Suit Yourself display reveals how fashionable men in the 18th and 19th centuries would flaunt themselves dressed in flamboyant striped velvet, floral embroidery and rich silk fabrics. This use of vibrant colours and contrasting textiles flourished during the ‘macaroni’ period from 1750 to 1770. The style evolved in the 19th century with industrialisation, which increased the availability of fabrics and ready-to-wear garments. A highlight of the display is the evening coat decorated with 4,000 rhinestones that would have sparkled in the candlelight with every movement.

Widely regarded as one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century, American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) has left an indelible mark on the art world with his innovative approach to sculpture. He made his modernist work using a variety of materials, including stone, marble, bronze, steel and ceramic. Isamu Noguchi also designed lamps, gardens, playground equipment and radios. The exhibition in the gardens comprises stone and bronze sculptures. Additionally, a ‘cloud’ of his washi paper Akari lamps will be hanging in the Atrium, and a chess table and selection of the artist’s sculptural ceramics will also be on display inside the museum.

Pierluca Mariti arriva ad Amsterdam col suo nuovo spettacolo 'Grazie per la domanda'!QUANDO: 2 Giugno 2025 START: ore 20.00 DOVE: Boom chicago - Rozengracht 117, 1016 LV Amsterdam, Netherlands 🎤 Pierluca Mariti, conosciuto online anche come @piuttosto_che, torna a teatro con un monologo comico dopo il tour del suo primo spettacolo Ho fatto il Classico, che tra il 2022 e il 2023 ha raggiunto le cinquanta repliche con innumerevoli sold out tra Italia ed Europa. Pierluca è finalmente andato in terapia, ed è mai possibile che certe riflessioni le tenga solo per le quattro mura dello studio dello psicologo? Ma quando mai. Grazie per la domanda è un viaggio attraverso vicende personali ed esperienze collettive, viste ovviamente attraverso la lente dell’ironia, alla ricerca della conoscenza di sé e di una certa leggerezza nell’affrontare piccole e grandi nevrosi quotidiane. Tra stress da vita adulta e ricordi di infanzia, dinamiche famigliari senza tempo e nuove sfide per un artista in ascesa, tentativi di cambiare e consapevolezze di doversi accettare per come si è, Pierluca prova a mettere ordine ai pensieri e a raccontare ciò che normalmente non porta sugli schermi dei social. Se Ho fatto il Classico era un percorso nella letteratura alla ricerca di una chiave di attualità dopo due anni di pandemia e nuova normalità, Grazie per la domanda è invece un racconto personale, una lunga seduta di analisi senza l’analista, una confessione a cuore aperto e senza sconti: finalmente Pierluca fa il suo ritorno sul palco, atteso da tempo. Almeno da lui medesimo. 🔸 Pierluca Mariti, comico classe 1989, ha un passato da giurista pentito e manager in una multinazionale. Alla soglia dei trent'anni, poco prima della pandemia, ha deciso di rispolverare la sua mai sopita passione, l’intrattenimento, prima con la stand up comedy, poi sul proprio profilo Instagram @piuttosto_che. Nel 2021 ha portato il monologo È da femmina! al TedX di Ferrara e, da agosto dello stesso anno, il suo spettacolo comico Ho fatto il Classico in un lungo tour sempre sold out che ha toccato anche le maggiori città europee. A settembre 2023 è uscito il suo primo romanzo, Niente di che, edito da Rizzoli. Information Source: Marco - BeComedy UK | eventbrite

The exhibitionChoosing Vincent. Portrait of a Family Historyis telling a personal story of doubt, setbacks, pride, and triumph. A story punctuated with dilemmas, seen through the eyes of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), his brother Theo (1857-1891), Theo's wife Jo (1862-1925) and their son Vincent (1890-1978), named after his uncle.

The many masterpieces and lesser-known gems show how the family collection grew to become a world-famous collection.

Concurrently with American Photography, Carrie Mae Weems’s 2021 series Painting the Town will be on show in the Rijksmuseum’s photography gallery. At first glance Weems’ large and powerful works resemble abstract paintings. During the Black Lives Matter protests, campaigners wrote texts on the panels that shopkeepers had used to board up their windows as a precautionary measure. The authorities then rendered the slogans illegible by covering them with large patches of paint. The unintended result of this act of censorship was a series of painterly compositions. Weems uses her work to explore what it means to be a witness to history, through themes such as racism, sexism and discrimination.

Oltre Terra, Formafantasma’s ongoing project and traveling exhibition, explores the history, ecology, and global dynamics of wool extraction and production. It goes further than the simple definition of wool as material, to look at it within a much broader ecology. Wool is the entry point for delving into the intricate interactions and interdependencies within an ecosystem. By looking at the history of sheep domestication, wool production, and material culture, Oltre Terra unravels the complexities of the cooperative symbiosis between animals, humans, and the environment. The exhibition explores this very intimate, yet complex, bond between humans and animals, emphasizing the impact they have on one another.

The Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam have long supported the work of Anselm Kiefer, and now the two institutions have joined forces with the Royal Academy of Arts in London to present a remarkable joint exhibition. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to revisit the world of Vincent van Gogh through the eyes of one of the most prominent contemporary figures of monumental painting and politicized art. From the age of 17, Kiefer was deeply influenced by Van Gogh, and the Post-Impressionist master remained a source of inspiration for him throughout his career. Van Gogh might not have imagined that there would always be an exhibition dedicated to his work in a corner of the world, but now we can explore the essence of Van Gogh's work in a new light through the eyes of another great artist.

On 1 July 1863, the Netherlands abolished slavery in Suriname on paper. In reality, the ‘freed’ in Suriname are obliged to continue working on the plantations for another ten years. In order to compensate for the shortage of labor after this period, the Netherlands starts recruiting so-called ‘contract workers’. These people are often recruited with false promises in China, India and Indonesia, among others. Sometimes they leave their country of their own accord, sometimes they are forced or abducted. They hardly get any wages and work under horrible conditions on the plantations. Very few people had the opportunity to return. Many stayed in Suriname and never saw their homeland again. Artist and researcher Sarojini Lewis came across the person of Soerdie in the archives of the Royal Library in The Hague: the first female ‘contract worker’ who was shipped from India via Barbados to Suriname. Based on books, letters and travel reports from that time, Lewis imagines what the life of Surdie might have looked like. Sarojini Lewis hides in the skin of Surdie. Her self-portraits at historical locations respond to the energy present on the abandoned plantations in Suriname and archival material she has previously discovered. She uses Critical Fabulation: a creative reconstruction of Surdie’s life, based on the few transmitted data from archives. She connects the story of this woman with the history of her own Hindustani ancestors who worked in the same area in Commewijne. In the exhibition, Sarojini Lewis speaks. In a series of Atlantic Windows, contemporary artists reflect on the exhibition Shadows on the Atlantic Ocean and the impact of the colonial past in this area. The windows were performed by Kevin Osepa and Sites of Memory: Decoding the Atlantic World. Atlantic Window III: Sarojini Lewis - Silence of the Sea: A trail of Surdie can be seen from 31 March to 1 October.

Artist Pamela Rosenkranz presents her first exhibition in the Netherlands at the Stedelijk Museum. Rosenkranz is internationally acclaimed for her immersive works that reflect on the relationship between the body, its physiology and rapidly changing environment. In Rosenkranz’s work, this environment is marked by advanced technology, late capitalism, and human-machine relations. Her work often consists of installations and readymade sculptures that frequently reference famous artworks or everyday objects such as Amazon packaging and water bottles. Rosenkranz was a resident of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten from 2010 to 2012. She has presented solo exhibitions at institutions such as Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva (2010), Kunsthalle Basel (2012), Swiss Pavilion, Venice Biennale (2015), K21 Düsseldorf (2017), and Kunsthaus Bregenz (2021). In 2023, she unveiled a major public sculpture on New York’s High Line.
