Rieke Vos

Curator for Contemporary Art
Teylers Museum, Haarlem

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. Before joining Teylers Museum Rieke was involved as (senior) curator with the establishment of the entirely new art space Het HEM. 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). She also 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.

Rieke Vos visited Vienna on a research trip as part of the exchange with the Mondriaan Fonds in 2023.
