De Zwarte Ruyter is an artist-run project space based in the geographical center of Rotterdam. Our foremost objective is not to act out as white cube, where one pins something to a wall, but instead question artists to put forward their uttermost effort in creating something new within the circumstantial possibilities.

For SUPERMARKET 2011 we will build up De Zwarte Ruyter - Souvenir Shop. Here you
will find an unlimited edition of all kinds of souvenirs.

In our DZR Souvenir Shop we will have a so called ‘kodak moment’ with a collection of
different drop backgrounds. You can choose one of those backgrounds and we will take a picture of you while standing in front of it. The backgrounds are made by and will represent the artists we worked with so far in a more serious and ironic way.
