In summer 2024, British artist Morag Myerscough unveiled her vibrant installation (Leave) “Space for Space” near the waterfront at NDSM. You might recognize her bold, colorful style from her iconic Coachella installation earlier this year! What makes you feel at home? This question inspired the playful and striking meeting space, featuring swing benches, dancing mobiles, and text boards drawn from Amsterdam-Noord’s stories and spirit. Created through workshops with local residents and enriched by a poem from spoken-word artist Mahat Arab, this piece embodies connection, exchange, and belonging. Bright colors. Bold patterns. A community-centered design. Myerscough’s work transforms public spaces into joyful places for everyone to enjoy.

These days, we’re diving into some incredible projects presented on the NDSM terrain in recent years.

First up: Under Pressure, the winning project of the NDSM Open Call 2023 by Catarina Garcia and Jim Du Pan. This striking installation features a colossal steel sphere that appears to hover above the shipyard, set atop the historic Kraan 7 crane. Illuminated from within, the sphere acts as a glowing beacon, visible even from the water. Its frame is adorned with seasonal plants, merging NDSM’s rich industrial heritage with the renewal of nature. Under Pressure symbolizes the cycles of transformation at NDSM, moments of destruction balanced with revival and reinvention. The title also reflects the challenges of urban development and the need to preserve valuable spaces like NDSM amidst growing pressures. Created by long-time NDSM artists Catarina and Jim, this installation is a powerful statement about the intersection of history, nature, and urban evolution. What does Under Pressure mean to you?

While his lettering didn’t stand out, his gift for painting characters quickly emerged. Inspired by analog photography, Moha embraces imperfections, rawness, and authenticity.
