Rokin
The Rokin is a canal and major street in the centre of Amsterdam. The street runs from Muntplein square to Dam square. The Rokin canal used to run from Muntplein square to Dam Square, but in 1936, the part between Spui square and Dam Square was filled in. On the remaining part of the water, canal boats are now moored.
Originally it was part of the river Amstel, and was known then as Ruck-in (from 'inrukken', which means 'to withdraw', as some of the houses on the Amstel had to be shortened to construct the quays there in the 16th century.
During the ongoing construction of the North-South line, a new metro line, archeologists dug down to a depth of approximately 20 meters on the Rokin. The archeological finds in what used to be the Amstel river are expected to shed new light on the history of Amsterdam and on the landscape and environment of the area in the millennia that preceded the founding of the city.
The Mirakelkolom, which normally stands on the Rokin, was temporarily removed during the construction of the metro line. The Mirakelkolom is a stone column made up of remnants of the Heilige Stede (Nieuwezijds Kapel), a chapel built to commemorate the 1345 Mirakel van Amsterdam (Miracle of the Host). The chapel was demolished in 1908.
A fire (Hotel Polen) in the Rokin on May 9, 1977, claimed 33 deaths.
Rokin metro station on line 52 of the Amsterdam Metro opened in July 2018. The Rokin is also served by tramway lines 4, 14 and 24.

Fontein van kunstenaar Mark Manders op het Rokin
Het Rokin krijgt een compleet nieuwe inrichting met de ingebruikname van de Noord/Zuidlijn. Het project Rode Loper is daarbij verantwoordelijk voor de herinrichting van de openbare ruimte. Op het Rokin komt een hoogwaardig ingericht plein: een verblijfsplek met terrassen, bomen en een fontein
De planning is gericht op opening van Fontein en Rokin op 16 & 17 september 2017.

From "All That Is Solid Melts Into Air" exhibition in Mechelen, B.
21.03.09 - 21.06.09
"All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is organised by the Antwerp museum of contemporary art MuHKA as part of a large-scale, city-wide program of events, exhibitions and projects devoted to the question of the role of the spiritual and the status of spiritual experience in contemporary ‘post-secular’ society.
The focal point of All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is an attempt to articulate, in five distinct chapters, the seeming or real paradox of what could be called a materialist spirituality – the fundamental dialectic of spirit (animus) and matter that is one of the defining features of what is commonly called ‘art’, or ‘culture’ more generally.
Five exhibitions, curated by MuHKA's team of curators and comprising close to a hundred artists in total, seek to shed light on art's timeless quest for the added value of the spiritual that lurks within the materiality of the world."
Team of curators: Edwin Carels, Bart De Baere, Liliane De Wachter, Dieter Roelstraete, Grant Watson / Project coordinator: Robert Ghesquière / Coproduction: MuHKA & MMMechelen vzw in collaboration with Cultuurcentrum Mechelen /
