Looking back at 2020, this might have been one of the most exhilarating exhibitions that took place within the cultural landscape of the Netherlands. With the pop-up exhibition I wanted to display how music, film, and art come together and how we are erasing the borders that were set in place around that time”, Wes explains.

Tim Wes is taking on the role of a pioneer that fights for a place within acknowledged institutes and organisations, in order to create space for a new generation of artists that navigate through different disciplines. “Before this pop-up exhibition took place, we put pressure on the cultural organisations in Rotterdam. On one hand, this was to shed some light onto a dark situation (the beginning of the lockdown), and on the other hand it was as a form of protest, in order to be heard”. “The large group of creators that do not walk the most common paths are still not given the proper attention to, in my opinion”, Tim shares. With the projects that he develops, he tries to embody and represent the group: “I want to show them what happens when these two worlds – the world of creators and the world of institutions – collide and collaborate, and I want to show what possibilities lie ahead. In my opinion, Het Nieuwe Instituut is not afraid to take on a challenge, to take a risk and to experiment. This is why I decided to work with them”.
