From 2006 till 2015 the SingerSweatShop was a cultural hot spot in the centre of Rotterdam where young artists from various fields had their studios and organised exhibitions, events, workshops, parties, high teas, film nights and promote gezelligheid of the highest level!
Situated in the old Singer building, the first building to be erect on the Hoogstraat after the German bombardment in 1940, it laid in the middle of the centre of Rotterdam, close to the Willem de Koning Art Academy and many of the citys famous architectural structures such as the Cube Houses and Willems Bridge.
Together with Michiel Jansen, and many others along the way, I built and set up, lived and worked in the SingerSweatShop and coined its name.
