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.

You can visit DETAILS from Friday 21 October from 12:00. The official opening with the artists is at 19:00 on that Friday. Drop by for a drink. For that event click here. Over deze tentoonstelling

About the exhibition

In order to not lose ourselves in the bigger picture, we cling to the details.

From different backgrounds and art practices, one concept crystalizes and functions as a binding aspect. If you take a look at Benjamin Francis' idea about 'the actual (self)' ( translated from 'het eigenlijke'), Bonnie’s concepts about 'conscious and unconscious' corporeality, Voskamp's 'talking material', Isa's multiplicity of simplicity or how Gert Jan zooms in on big events – you will find that the details that they emphasize or maybe try to hide, start speaking for themselves in this exhibition.

The exhibition is contextualized by Rieke Vos
