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.
Our largest exhibition space will be activated as an inter-dimensional amulet - a sacred space offering protection and strength.
'Amulet' seeks to illuminate the hidden layers of perception that conventional frameworks often overlook. Palmer’s work captures the range of human perception, inviting viewers to consider what new insights might emerge when we move beyond fixed aspects of reality. 'Photon' continues the investigation of the space of Het HEM during the filming process of ‘Amulet’. It revisits the gestures, objects and texts developed by Molly whilst also amplifying the site’s own moods and manifestations.
The bar is open at 18:00 for drinks and bites. The performance begins at 19:00. As the performance ends, the audience will be guided to Het HEM’s screening room to watch 'Amulet'. You’re welcome to come even earlier for a walk around the building and a visit of the Open Studio Expo #4.
