Art is our first language. Even while we are closed for renovations, our programming continues. You will find our art programmes at off-site locations throughout the year and on the digital platform The Couch. The permanent installations in Het HEM will remain open to the public after the renovation.
Our music programme focuses on experimental ways of making, presenting and experiencing sound in the building through listening sessions, live performances and musical artist-in-residence programmes. During renovations, we organise music programmes at off-site locations and on the digital platform The Couch.
Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection.
The building's industrial design and our experimental art programme bring ambience and meaning to every event.
Situated in a former munitions factory, Het HEM is a new home for contemporary culture.
Tutto Questo Sentire is an artist collective consisting of experimental opera singer Olivia Salvadori, composer and cellist Sandro Mussida, and video and sound artist Rebecca Salvadori. As part of our Close Range music residency program, they will be staying at Het HEM throughout October to develop and present a site-specific installation. Their plan is to create a light and sound event titled "Spazio Per Azioni Luminescenti" and present it along with existing works on October 22th, 23rd and 24th. A series of live performances will be held during the weekend within the piece, featuring special guests DJ Elena Colombi (IT/UK), vocalist and producer Coby Sey (UK) and light artist Charlie Hope (UK).
Spazio per Azioni Luminescenti is an immersive installation composed of a series of articulated light, sound and spoken words combinations to be premiered at Het HEM on the occasion of TQS artist collective residency, Amsterdam, during the month of October 2021.
You can visit this project for free during the day, but you have to buy a ticket for the two performances in the evening.
