FLAT // LAND

Netherlands, Amsterdam

In 2023 the gallery has adapted to its new environment. Co-directed by Fiona van Schendel since 2012, another chapter will be added to FLATLAND's 40 years of history. Fi's goal is to transform the gallery from an international high-profile art gallery into an international project space focused on ethology and art. She will bring a selection of artworks that invite to rethink our relationship between humans and nature, between us and all other life forms and species. Artworks that assist us to engage and become compassionate, and distribute scientific findings to generate knowledge across species and beings. By reassessing the wider natural environment in which all living forms are interconnected, FLAT // LAND hopes to soften the distinction between humans and other species. Under Fi's leadership the gallery workes with Vincent Munier, Leila Jeffreys and Zana Briski and many other amazing artists to stage important exhibitions as The Alpha Female at The Glazen Huis in 2024. Fiona van Schendel is since 2025 Board member of the Nederlands Jacht en Natuurmuseum. From 2022 to 2024 she was an international jury member for the Spider Awards. She is also a Certified Canine Training Instructor.
