Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam
Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (SMBA) is a project space for contemporary art. SMBA was founded in 1993 and is part of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. It is the successor of Museum Fodor, a platform for young Amsterdam artists that ceased to exist in 1992. The goals of SMBA are to stimulate and signal contemporary art in Amsterdam and to create an international stage for this. SMBA organizes eight to ten solo and group exhibitions annually.

Activities
SMBA is situated at Rozenstraat 59 in Amsterdam. Apart from exhibitions other activities such as lectures, debates and (book) presentations are held here. Throughout the city of Amsterdam different projects that were made possible by SMBA take place. Examples of such projects are the residency programme BijlmAIR (in collaboration with Centrum Beeldende Kunst Zuidoost) and Artist in Residence Zuidas. Artists are invited to live and work for six months in one of the residencies and to make a work that reflects on aspects of that part of the city. SMBA is also involved with Stichting Postivisme, a programme foundation that stimulates the production and development of electronic, audiovisual, and performance art and new media.

Publications
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of SMBA ’10 Years SMBA, We Show Art’ was published. This publication contained SMBA’s newsletters until the end of 2003. The SMBA newsletter is published six times a year and gives explanation on current projects. It contains contributions by national and international specialists in the field. Some exhibitions are, apart from the newsletter, accompanied by book publications. The current head of Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam is Jelle Bouwhuis.
