Casco was founded as a platform for experimental art. It has developed a critical programme that explores art in the public realm. In 2005 Casco took the new title of 'office for art, design and theory' in order to set a wider agenda towards an interdisciplinary practice.

Casco maintains a questioning approach to culture, which is also applied to its own position in the cultural field. Besides pursuing different modes of artistic production, Casco seeks to open its own infrastructure up to experimentation.

Marres has a specific approach to the contemporary field of art and design. Through a more anthropological approach, both disciplines are positioned in their broader cultural perspective.

Marres initiates exhibitions, lectures, research, publications and projects, rooted in a cultural, philosophical background and a specific interest in the problem of actuality. The relation with the immediate local environment is often employed as a means to refine a more universal agenda in order to produce innovative exhibition models.

Royal Tichelaar Makkum is the Netherlands' oldest company. It lives up to this long lineage but lets itself by no means tie down by the chains of history. Rather, the invaluable knowledge of ceramics, accumulated by successive generations, has provided a firm base on which to build, from which development of products and know-how will progress hand in hand.

Royal Tichelaar Makkum fosters a company culture marked by open minds, an inquisitive disposition, enthusiasm for research and experiment, the pursuit of perfection and the drive to deliver custom made solutions for every conceivable application of ceramics in architecure, art and design.

Posted by: Witte de With

Witte de With was established in 1990 as a center for contemporary art with the mission of introducing contemporary art and theory in the context of the City of Rotterdam as well as the Netherlands as a whole.

The institution initially sought to present an alternative to both the classic museum for modern art and existing artists' initiatives. Over the years, Witte de With has evolved, growing to also commission and produce new works of art. This has resulted in the development of a local, national and international network of people and organisations who follow and actively support the institution's activities. From the very start, many of these were accompanied by or documented in publications, which are now widely distributed and read.
