Comité van Roosendaal

The Comité van Roosendaal is a network connecting contemporary art institutions in the Northern European capital region. The Comité originated in 2006 as an informal discussion forum for subjects of mutual interest and urgency. In 2008, the Comité van Roosendaal formalised its status as an association in order to bring together, discuss, evaluate and further inspire the members’ knowledge and institutional practices. The members aim to broaden their insights in artistic, cultural and political matters and seek means to share these with other colleagues in the global cultural field.

Its members are: Ann Demeester (de Appel, Amsterdam), Bart de Baere (MuHka, Antwerp), Katia Baudin (Museum Ludwig, Cologne), Charles Esche (Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven), Anselm Franke (Extra City, Antwerp), Maria Hlavajova (Basis voor Actuele Kunst, Utrecht), Kasper König (Museum Ludwig, Cologne), Vanessa Joan Müller (Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf), Nicolaus Schafhausen (Witte de With, Rotterdam) and Dirk Snauwaert (Wiels, Brussels).
