Artist run space, Rotterdam
Duende was an independent self-organized artist-cooperative located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In forty-two studios housed in a former school, independent artists carried out their practice on a professional basis. Besides the permanent studios, Duende organised many exhibitions and events. Duende also offered an intense residency program, providing three large studios, living accommodation and an exhibition, available for international and Dutch artists for a period of three months.
Duende existed form 1984 until 2013.
