**W139** is an [artist-run space](/source/Artist-run_space) established in 1979 on the [Warmoesstraat](/source/Warmoesstraat), [Amsterdam](/source/Amsterdam), [the Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). The former theatre was [squatted](/source/Squatting) in October 1979 by five young artists as "a movement against the closed world of commercial art and museums".[1] Currently a group of national and international artists are organising different contemporary art shows by following the W139 [artist-run](/source/Artist-run_space) approach.[2] In 2016 the expositions 'Gym of Absolute Technology', 'Shifting Spaces' and 'UU&ME' were held.[3][4]
