Just one more week until the opening of Prospects at Art Rotterdam. The new edition, featuring work by 92 emerging artists, will take place from 27 to 29 March (press preview on 26 March). All artists received the Mondriaan Fund’s Artist Start grant. The 14th edition of Prospects is curated by Johan Gustavsson and Daphne Verberg.

The exhibition features a wide range of works, from photography to installations, from video to painting, and from performance to sculpture. Gustavsson and Verberg on the exhibition:

“Prospects 2026 highlights a new wave of artists who address today’s changing world with imagination, rigour, and great energy. This 14th edition of Prospects, participants take on urgent questions from reshaping collective memory to examining new relationships between technology, ecology and the human body. Their works show that experimentation and care can go hand in hand, offering glimpses of alternative futures that are both challenging and full of possibilities. We are honoured to introduce this diverse group of talents, whose practices reflect the richness and momentum of contemporary art in the Netherlands.”

The results will be presented at Ahoy on Friday 27 March from 4.00 pm to 4.45 pm as part of the Reflections Talks programme.
