Van Gendthallen

The enormous factory halls on Oostenburgereiland, designed by the architect Van Gendt, were built in the nineteenth century. Together with organizations and companies who aren't afraid to experiment, Stadgenoot is currently looking into ways to breathe new life into these buildings in the east of Amsterdam. Visit this page for more information about the Van Gendthallen and Oostenburgereiland.

Mediamatic Fabriek

In December 2011, Mediamatic hung 6 swings from the 16 meter high roof construction. This marked the beginning of a new period filled with experimentation and play in two of the large factory halls. Since then we've been putting on workshops, exhibitions and parties at this new location: Mediamatic Fabriek.
