Nubuke+

The Experimental Edge of Nubuke Foundation

Nubuke+ is a nimble, forward-thinking extension of Nubuke Foundation’s core curatorial and public programming. Designed to be faster, lighter, and more porous, it offers a platform for emerging artists, thinkers, and makers to share work that’s daring, in-progress, or deeply imaginative.

Structured as a series of bi-monthly programs primarily in the Foundation’s Gallery Annex, Nubuke+ features work submitted through open calls or sourced through community networks and direct outreach. Each edition may be curated around a theme, a question, or a specific mood.

However, Nubuke+ is more than just an exhibition series—it is a living zone for Actualizations: short-form talks, open studios, workshops, and interventions that sit outside the usual bounds of institutional programming. It carries the spirit of experimentation, autonomy, and responsive programming.

Inspired by Nubuke Foundation’s original approach to programming and by initiatives like Buro Stedelijk at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Nubuke+ functions semi-independently within the foundation—a cultural R&D lab where new ideas are piloted, voices are amplified, and future directions are prototyped.

Think of it as Nubuke Foundation’s imagination engine.
