on the inside

‘On The Inside’ is an independent and international platform for contemporary art situated within the cultural landscape of Amsterdam’s NDSM wharf, just 10 minutes from Central Station via the free ferry.

Founded by Annemarie Galani and Henk Stallinga, ‘On The Inside’ operates as a non-profit, artist-driven exhibition space. The platform showcases curated exhibitions programmed by ‘On The Inside’ and its rotating advisory board.

Housed in a converted warehouse with abundant height and natural, filtered daylight, ‘On The Inside’ provides the perfect environment for showcasing a diverse range of media in contemporary arts, from film and large installations to photography, painting, new media, dance, sculpture, and performance.

With the artist’s perspective in mind, ‘On The Inside’ actively fosters partnerships and exchanges with international institutions and curators.

‘On The Inside’ is financed through its foundation with a cultural ANBI status.

‘On The Inside’ gets its name from the artwork permanently on display around the entire facade of the building.

The mural, a poetry painting by Tim Ayres, spells ‘Fruit falls with its flesh on the inside.’ The last three words of the painting ‘on the inside’ are located at the front of the building and above the entrance to the project space. Hence, this is where the name ‘On The Inside’ originated.
