Amsterdam doesn’t need help attracting visitors. There are plenty of reasons to travel to this city—many of them probably more fun than what I’m about to suggest!—but this weekend has a little something extra if art is what you’re after. Amsterdam Art Weekend opens today and runs through Sunday, showcasing the very best in contemporary art. You have a wide selection of exhibitions, performances, screenings, and panels discussions to choose from, and we’re here to help make sure you don’t skip over any of the must-see gallery shows.

Head over to Annet Gelink Gallery for luscious contemporary painting by Dutch artist Rezi van Lankveld. Her work lives comfortably somewhere between abstraction and representation, just barely suggesting the presence of figures in her improvised, gestural marks. BORZO modern and contemporary art presents a new exhibition by Ger van Elk, focusing on the traditional landscape rendered in very contemporary materials, like cibachrome prints mounted between Plexiglass. Next stop, C&H art space, for its amusingly titled two-person show, “Balls Deep in Fuckery.” As you might guess, this collaborative installation by Jacob Dwyer and Mike Pratt is both humorous and irreverent. For something a little more serious, visit Upstream Gallery’s poignant exhibition of work examining different human conflicts by two very different artists, Ronald Ophuis and Krzysztof Wodiczko.

Lastly, be sure to make time for the Stedelijk’s year-long retrospective of Tino Sehgal, entering its final few weeks. Conceived as an ongoing series of performances, the museum hosts daily live work enacted by dancers and other performers. This is the first major survey of this important artist, so catch it before it closes on December 31.

It’s a busy weekend for art enthusiasts in the Dutch capitol, so why not grab your waffle to go and try to see it all?
