The ArtZuid sculpture exhibition is taking place in Amsterdam (17 May to 15 Sept 2019). This is the sixth edition of the exhibition which is held every other year. Here you find over 80 large scale exhibitions installed in the area between Minervalaan and Zuid Amsterdam. The exhibition area is open 24 hours a day.
Visit the ArtZuid website for a map with location of the various sculptures. You can also download a mobile app. which is helpful. There is an exhibition information centre and pavilion setup at Minervalaan that is open from 10am to 6pm.
Overall, we liked the sculptures found on the east-west Apollolan exhibition area more than than those found on the north-south area along Minrevalaan.
We particularly liked 19 - Yoshitomo Nara's Your Dog (2017), 20 - Elsa Tomkowiak's colourful Out (2019) installation and 25 - The Leader (2015) by Atelier van Lieshout. Plenty more sculptures of interest to occupy an hour or two of art viewing in this area of the city.
This year's edition of ArtZuid is worth visiting. Again, the curators have managed to bring together a number of thought-provoking or just plain fun sculptures. When the weather cooperates, surely a nice way to spend some time outdoors and consumer culture!
This attraction happens once in two years. Every year is getting bigger, and this year 90 sculptures are exposed. The route is also getting longer, it is from the museum square to the south, the shopping centre "Gelderlandplein". Once in the past there was also the work of Salvador Dali, Karel Appel, Jean Tinguely, Aguste Rodin and some others. It's very interesting to see all those artwork though you're not really a sculpture lover. The centre of this activity is on the "apollolaan", in front of the Hilton Hotel. This exposition is usually from May to September. One of the artwork is exposed at the "Art Chapel", in the Beatrix park. So, the next exposition would be in 2019
I was lucky to have found a hotel nearby in the Best Western Delphi, this attraction was right in front of the hotel and spanned several blocks. It was a nice place for a quiet stroll after a busy day of sight seeing in city center. The sculptures are well displayed and interesting. I would like to come back and see how the exhibition changes next year.
