MEET THE CURATOR - JOCHEM LEEGSTRA

Jochem Leegstra is creative director and founder of ANDSTAAT and co-initiator of the platform THE NEW STIJL. Working at the intersection of art, design and culture, he develops conceptual and visual projects across both autonomous and institutional contexts. His practice brings together creative direction, cultural research and visual communication, creating connections between different fields and forms of cultural production.

For SIGNAL ’26, Jochem contributes both as a curator and through ANDSTAAT as publication partner. His perspective helps shape the selection of makers, while the publication extends the project beyond the three-hour exhibition itself.

Our very first official @newgymnasium event took place on July 3rd. Seeing our dream come to life, even for just one evening, was incredibly special for us. We’ve received so many happy dm’s and texts after, thanks so much!

About a year and a half ago, the four of us started talking about a shared dream: creating a place in Amsterdam where movement, wellness, work, food, and community all come together: A well-designed space where you can spend your day, enjoy high-end facilities, attend events and meet inspiring people.

You’re probably thinking: But when!? And where!? Turns out: Building something like this doesn’t happen overnight. But we’re getting closer every week... We’re currently raising the final funds and actively securing the right location in the centre of Amsterdam.

Until then, we’re bringing New Gymnasium to life through a series of events. Over the coming months, we’ll host one event for each of our five pillars: Movement, Wellness, Work, Food and Community.

‘Movement’ is already in the making. (September 2026).

If you’d like to join us, make sure to add yourself to the waitlist through the link in our bio. That’s where we’ll share all upcoming events first.

Big love,
@nurcan3000

And a VERY big thank you to the best team ❤️
