History
The Vleeshal Center for Contemporary Art is an art museum in Middelburg, the Netherlands. The center organises exhibitions of contemporary art and an accompanying public program in a building which was formerly Middelburg's town hall, on the market square. Characterized by its distinct Gothic architecture, Vleeshal is a unique space. The venue has inspired many artists to create extraordinary exhibitions, bringing Vleeshal international renown. Under the directorship of the current director Roos Gortzak, artists such as Cally Spooner, Ola Vasiljeva, Simone Forti, Andrea Éva Györi, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy and Paul Maheke have developed new works. Until 2017, Vleeshal also organised exhibitions in a second exhibition space: Vleeshal Zusterstraat. As a result of municipal cutbacks, Vleeshal Zusterstraat closed on October 1, 2017. The library of Vleeshal Zusterstraat was transferred to the library of Zeeland on long-term loan.
