Curatorial Projects
- The Travelling Artwork (2010): The project focuses on the consequence of a selected series of countries in a process of increasingly open borders, where the confrontation with different cultures exists in themselves, while on the other hand the possibility to leave the country and sniff out these other cultures in their own territory is left openly possible.{{cite news |title=KUNST ONTSNAPT UIT DE BAARD VAN MARX |url=https://www.vice.com/nl/article/kunst-ontsnapt-uit-de-baard-van-marx/ |publisher=VICE Digital Publishing, LLC |date=2010}}
- Living with Ghosts (2016): The exhibition explores the question on the daily objects, which we surround ourselves with and they surround us. We live with them, but do they live with us?{{cite news |title=Living with Ghosts |url=https://katharinaveerkamp.com/living-with-ghosts |publisher=Katharina Veerkamp}}
- Breathing Space (2016): The performative project deals with the diminishing space between people when they gather in masses and the air in between two individuals that connects them.{{cite web |title=Breathing Space |url=https://charlottetaillet.com/breathing-space/ |website=Charlotte Taillet}}
- De Schaduw van de Haan (2017): A solo exhibition project for the artist Vibeke Mascini in the adjacent marketplace under the shadows of the Great Bavo church in Haarlem, build around 1517.
