Location
The studio of m4gastatelier is situated in the large building complex Tetterode, where over 200 people have been working and/or living since the 1980s. Since the typesetting company Lettergieterij Amsterdam left its former factory building in 1981, Tetterode has become one of the most renowned working & living complexes of the Netherlands. The 11.000 m2 building complex comprises artist studios, residents and cultural companies . m4gastatelier, with 120m2, is situated on the 4th floor of a modern extension of this complex, characterized by transparency, space, light and air. This part of the building houses the majority of the 35 artists' studios and art organizations a.o., such as fanfare, Hard//hoofd, Platform BK, Gerhard Hofland Gallery and Eddie the Eagle Museum.
