The Exhibition 

Marking its fifth anniversary, On The Inside proudly presents Zwerk — a reflection on the poetic Dutch word for ‘sky’. The term evokes an ever-shifting expanse of drifting clouds, suggesting freedom, vastness, and boundlessness. Yet within that openness lie states of disorientation, estrangement, latent threat, and a heightened sense of human insignificance in the face of immensity. The exhibition explores these layered conditions through installation, film, painting, and photography. 

The Artists

Zwerk brings together thirteen international artists working across film, painting, and photography. The exhibition features film works by Yael Bartana, Wangechi Mutu, and Nicolas Provost; photography by Wolfgang Tillmans, Thomas Ruff, and Natalie Czech; and paintings by Bhasha Chakrabarti, Matthew Day Jackson, Janis Avotins, Lieven Hendriks, Salvo and Dana Powell. A new site-specific installation by Henk Stallinga anchors the exhibition.
