Art Rotterdam : Cindy Bakker, Britte Koolen and Jochem Rotteveel

27 - 29 March 2026 
Overview

We are proud to present a group presentation featuring artworks by  Cindy Bakker, Britte Koolen and Jochem Rotteveel at Art Rotterdam.  These artists present a layered exploration of form through material, surface and spatial intervention. Their practices meet in an investigation of boundaries — testing where something bends, breaks or endures. The result is a dialogue between matter and physicality: a search for what form can become when it resists expectation. 
 

Cindy Bakker (1989, NL) explores large fields of colour and familiar shapes that are part of our everyday surroundings — from traffic signs to green trash cans. Cindy strips these objects of their function while preserving their presence. She wants them to lose their status as mass-produced products and become unique for a moment. 
 
Britte Koolen  (1994, NL) seeks tension within material. Wood, ceramics and concrete are pushed to the limits of their possibilities. By embracing fragility and resistance, she creates a minimalistic but dynamic interplay between construction and collapse, robustness and vulnerability. 
  

Jochem Rotteveel (1976, NL) breaks the flat surface through bold folds using foil, and more recently he incorporated fabric. He investigates how form can detach itself from the two-dimensional plane and unfold into new, unpredictable spatial configurations.
