Good contempary art galleries in Amsterdam

This Is Not Here · 08.31.2009, 08:02 AM

I'm heading over there for a week tomorrow. Meaning to check out a few smaller, contempary galleries. ADVICE ME!

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. But for God's sake, don't be so fucking helpless. Just go over there and start exploring for yourself. What, you think life comes with a guide book?

Ummm exuse me - I shall do just that - I always do. But it's also nice to have people's reccomendations - because I CARE what you sods thinks. Theres the helpless part.

I wish I could help you out but I dont speak to anyone online anymore from there..

have fun though! and don't let the crazy hookers get you.

I'm flying from gatwick tomorrow. And yes, I shall take my trusty prostitute-repellant spray.

You expected to find experts on Amsterdam contemporary art galleries here?!

This Is Not Here · 08.31.2009, 09:06 AM

I expected to find locals to Amsterdam who know where some cool galleries are! Jesus! If you're not willing to learn something from people who post on this board, why the bloody hell are you here?

plenty of people in the netherlands listen to music and use the internets. There are a lot of goths too. So I'm sure this is not here will fit in fine.

gmku · 08.31.2009, 09:17 AM

No, I meant I just don't see a lot of SY forum members as the usual experts to go to on this subject. Do we even have anybody from the Netherlands here?

There are few. Stop sounding like someone's angry dad.

When I was there a couple of years ago we didn't have the time to just go and explore some random galleries, which meant that we probably visited in one or two (can't remember what they were called or where they were). there's a thread about the city, with recommendations from tokolosh and pokkeherrie, btw.

You kids piss me off. Bunch of lazy whiny baby girls who can't be bothered to learn about things the hard way.

Phlegmscope · 08.31.2009, 09:35 AM

Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't in the war.

gmku · 08.31.2009, 09:36 AM

Yr loss, sweetheart.

I am an expert on the galleries in my city, and if someone on here asked I'm be willing to tell them all about them. I also know that the sort of galleries I'm after you can't find by just wandering around looking in London a) they're in converted garages, warehouses etc b) behind nondescript doors you have to knock or ring a bell to enter c)citys tend to be fucking huge, London being the best example of this. My point is, sometimes you have to KNOW about a place is order to find it.

08.31.2009, 09:53 AM

Tokolosh would be the best person for this. Send him a pm.

You only listen mainly to music made over 20 years ago. Who's the one who doesn't want to learn things now?

False assumption, i.e., you assume I mainly listen to music made more than 20 years ago, yet you know nothing about my actual listening habits. Sorry, but you... Fail.
