Knowledge and research

Continuous investment in research and knowledge development is a central theme in Stroom's activities. We achieve this in collaboration with artists and partners, on a project basis, through digital platforms, and via various multi-year research lines.

The library is an essential part of Stroom and serves as an important research resource for visitors. The core of the library's collection consists of publications acquired in connection with our program, public art, artists, the city, and its residents. Surrounding this core, we gather material that provides context on (latent) observable developments—ranging from international to local levels—on political, cultural, social, and ecological themes. In short, everything to which contemporary art relates. We aim to ensure that our collection always offers space for diverse perspectives and evolving insights in the arts and society. Through this flexible thematic organization, we bring together current and previously collected publications in new contexts.
