Rieke Vos

Rieke Vos is a curator, initiator and writer based in Amsterdam. In 2023 she joined the Teylers Museum in Haarlem – the oldest museum in the Netherlands founded in 1784 - as their first-ever Curator for Contemporary Arts. With her program she will forge topical connections between art and science, and shed a contemporary light on the history of this encyclopedic museum and it’s meaningful collection of visual art, scientific instruments and geological objects.

Before joining Teylers Museum Rieke was involved as (senior) curator with the establishment of the entirely new art space Het HEM, founded in 2019 and located in a 10.000 m2 former factory building in Zaandam. Here she curated – amongst other things - four mayor exhibitions in collaboration with Edson Sabajo & Guilleaume ‘Gee’ Schmidt (founders of fashion brand Patta) (2019), composer Nicolás Jaar (2019), stylist Maarten Spruyt (2020) and architects Samir Bantal/Rem Koolhaas (2022) and initiated ALL INN (2021), a joint graduation show for 175+ graduate students from nine different art academies in response to Covid-19. Rieke was a participant of De Appel Curatorial Programme 2010-2011, and holds a master-degree in Art History from the University of Amsterdam.
