LIFE closed permanently in May 2022. Information hereunder is for  for the record, since you were interested enough to get this far.

​

​

​

LIFE is a living room for ‘portative works’: books, jewellery, and small-scale objects by artists; and artworks by people who may not consider themselves artists. LIFE is concerned with the things people make that are not often given emphasis in their professional practice, rather, with the useful-everyday, small experimentations and tokens of gift-economy among fellow makers. 

​

LIFE is a project initiated by artist Ash Kilmartin, with the help of many friends. The space is housed alongside Wilfried Lentz in the M4H/Delfshaven area of Rotterdam.

In 2021, LIFE received support from Gemeente Rotterdam; and Stichting Droom en Daad for exhibitors' fees and even some running costs. In 2020, LIFE was kindly supported by CBK Rotterdam (Center for Visual Arts Rotterdam) to pay fees to exhibiting artists. The use of our space at Keileweg is possible through the generosity of Wilfried Lentz.
