Our story began in 2015 as a brick and mortar gallery in the center of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In 2020 the gallery relocated to a space on the premises of AVL Mundo, sharing a building with Galerie Wilfried Lentz. Between 2015 and 2021 CINNNAMON organised over forty exhibitions on its two subsequent locations, as well as presenting at art fairs like Artissima, ARCO Madrid, Art Brussels, Art Rotterdam and Art-O-Rama Marseille. From the onset, the gallery has gained a reputation for being one of the Netherland’s most exciting young galleries. The gallery worked with artists who share a great eye and a keen mind, their practices being pioneering but not trendy. We were among the first galleries in the Netherlands championing a generation of digital natives who incorporated ideas from new materialism in their work. Our philosophy was always rooted in artistic excellence and cooperation. This attitude resulted in a professional network of friends that we trust will outlive the life span of the physical gallery. Since 2022, CINNNAMON founder Pieter Dobbelsteen works as a curator and agent, forging sustainable collaborations with galleries and exhibition venues for selected artists in his network. The CINNNAMON roster of gallery artists (in its final form) is archived here (link). The exhibition archive can be navigated through the menu above.
