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.
The second Listeningsession of 2024 brings Jameszoo to Benelux Bar. Jamezoo will curate a selection of records to be played on the hand-built, high end 1130 HIFI soundsystem, made by Amsterdam local and music lover, Jules Brans.
Mitchel Van Dinther, better known by his stage name Jameszoo, is a Dutch record producer from 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Dinther started as a DJ in his hometown of 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. In May 2013, he attended the Red Bull Music Academy in New York City where he was able to meet and collaborate with people in contrast to how he described his origin as "this small town where there's no one doing what I was trying to do, you're not really sure if it's an actual thing you're doing". After releasing several EPs and being signed to Brainfeeder Records, Dinther released his first album Fool in May 2016.
His latest album, Blind, was released in March 2022. AllMusic described it as "the album itself is fascinating in how far it pushes and deconstructs musical ideas while still retaining soul and spirit"
