About
Marwan is an artist-run project space founded by Tim Mathijsen and Tirza Kater, running since 2017 in Amsterdam’s city centre. Marwan began as a space through which to invite artists with a close connection to the city to return to, or to further explore their connection with, the city of Amsterdam, and over the years has developed into a vital space for Amsterdam’s contemporary art community. In 2022, Marwan is pleased to announce that artist, curator, and researcher Dieuwertje Hehewerth has joined Marwan's team.
Dieuwertje is working with Marwan from Aotearoa New Zealand, and together with Marwan will be exploring notions of distance, access, and sustainability within art practices, exhibition-making, and programming. Under the working title 'How to meet from a distance?’ Marwan invites artists to think and work in tandem in this undoing, questioning the position of Marwan as an artist-run project space, and making and punctuating a series of shows that relieve categories of starts and finishes towards a working together of moments more present.
Marwan consists of:
Dieuwertje Hehewerth

Occupational Health & Safety Fund bequest (OHS Fund)
Het Marwan OHS Fonds is een ‘legaat’ van de kunstenaars Isabelle Sully en Valentina Curandi in het kader van hun tentoonstelling ‘Two in a Coffin’ ( 2019) die gemoeid was met een feministische herschrijving van werkplaats veiligheid (in de Engelse taal OHS: Occupational Health and Safety). Steeds wordt een klein deel van een verkregen subsidie gestoken in het OHS Fonds, dat is bestemd voor elke op-hen-volgende kunstenaar die een project ontwikkelt bij Marwan. Een bedrag van 50,- is beschikbaar per project, om in te zetten voor een maatregel die de veiligheid bevordert. Dit kan veiligheid zijn voor de persoon zelf, voor de ruimte, de straat, de stad; in te vullen door de ontvanger van het fonds.
