VETGEDRUKT goes physical. Over the past years, we have enjoyed bringing together an organically growing collection that mirrors the interests of Rotterdam’s artistic communities. Initiated by TENT during the COVID pandemic, Vetgedrukt provided a supportive online platform for a wide range of artist’s books. But we have also learnt that most people prefer to hold a book in their hands before they buy it, and love the personal encounter that a physical bookshop can bring. So we’ve decided to shift our focus to a physical collection.

In the new venue of TENT, at Coolhaven 32, we will continue to offer a current selection of book projects, research publications and poetry by Rotterdam based artists. Here you will find a regularly changing offer of publications, intertwined with TENT’s hybrid artistic programme.

For those of you who want to buy a book from our current collection: The VETGEDRUKT online shop will be open until 1-12-2025. Publications can also be obtained at the new venue of TENT as from March 29.

For those of you who would like to contribute to our new physical bookshop: Keep an eye out for our recurring thematic open calls for contributions. And do keep us informed about any artist’s books you are working on.
There will be a biennial selection.

VETGEDRUKT is made possible by CBK ROTTERDAM.
