curating
In march of 2026, together with studio collaborators Diever Zandvliet, Charlie Jansen en Milo Poelman, I initiated project space KIT, an artist-run exhibition platform located in an old school building in Rotterdam-West.
KIT is aimed at inviting starting artists to showcase their works in approachable and experimental settings. For our 2026 program Boiten (co-)curated three exhibitions:
Four Ninety Degree Angles
Leo Rij, Hussel Zhu & Marijn Niggebrugge
18/09 - 27/09
Like a fly, only able to travel in straight lines, creating a restrictive box for
its own movement. Like nondescript arm rests on park benches, purposely
malpositioned to erase homeless people from public space. Like an online
shadow-ban, unannounced and unexplained, silencing critical voices. Like
being told to ‘run along now’, in a societal system built to weaken the weak
and empower the powerful.
In our everyday movements we often encounter - both consciously and
unconsciously - restrictive structures that dictate and choreograph our daily motions. The exhibition Four Ninety Degree Angles brings together the work of three Rotterdam-based artists whose works engages with this sense of restriction or limitation, from a variety of spiritual, cultural and spatial perspectives.

From One to Another
Charlie Jansen & Alessio Pinton
26/06 - 12/07
The duo-exhibition From One to Another exhibits the most recent developments in the artist practices of Charlie Jansen and Alessio Pinton. Their work delves into the sonic and material characteristics of a multitude of lifeless materials, ranging from stainless steel to limestone. Their artistic research aims to make tactile the processes, dialogues, exchanges and vibrations that remain invisible to the human experience.
