This season's public program is over.
Our event spaces are available for rent.
Art is our first language. Throughout the year, Het HEM presents a range of temporary art programmes as well as more permanent art installations.
There is always music to listen to at Het HEM, with programmes focused on experimental ways to create, present and experience music in the building through listening sessions, live shows, and musical artis-in-residence initiatives.
We are closed at the moment. When we are open again you are welcome for a drink and a bite, wine and dine at our restaurant. With good wether we suggest you settle down on our sunny terrace on the Costa del Zaano.
Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection or discover new favourites in the SANZ Shop.
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.
Sleep In: Slow Wave Phase is inspired on the Sleep Concerts first organised by Berkeley researcher, Robert Rich. The idea of sleeping in a space together in combination with the music and auditive guidance gives a new dimension to our understanding of what sleep can be. When we spend time with other people our brains are more active and our senses are more alert – even in different states of consciousness like when we’re sleeping and dreaming.
Lineup:
Maya Shenfeld
Nina
Pieter Jansen
no service
Museum of No Art
The constant auditory stimulus is not necessarily only soothing. Maya Shenfeld, trained as a guitarist and composer, creates versatile electroacoustic installations and performances, described as both evocative and intimate. As a DJ and promotor connected to Golden Pudel, Nina is an important figure in the Hamburg scene. Pieter Jansen is a familiar face in the Amsterdam night scene; as a DJ, he likes to explore the more adventurous edges. The same goes for no service, who, besides his role as DJ, is also the organiser and initiator of this Sleep In: Slow Wave Phase. Like Nina, Museum of No Art (Mona Steinwidder) is from Hamburg; the visual artist and musician creates dreamy soundscapes with her voice, clarinet and electronics.
This unique event promises to sell out quickly. Don’t miss out and book your tickets now.
