Tangents

Tangents is an English-language online review platform focused on writing about the Dutch art scene — on what is happening both within the borders of the Netherlands and about Dutch-based artists presenting work beyond them. Born from a frustration with the prevalence of objectivity and imposing house styles in the majority of art writing commissioned by leading platforms, Tangents instead encourages contributors to approach criticism from within the specificities and focuses of their own writing practice. Tangents publishes a monthly review written by a writer from our stable of permanent contributors, who each takes a turn to write and (lightly) edit another’s work.
