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.
At Het HEM you will find books, films, podcasts and magazines, carefully selected by our Guests and the curators team. These serve as inspiration and background information for our Chapters and exhibitions. Our library grows by the grace of new additions from our Guests. During Chapter 3HREE AND A 1/2 where we do not work with one Guest but offer space for a variety of parties, the books in our library are therefore not supplemented. This does not alter the fact that the selection of books that can now be read in Het HEM are an interesting combination of the bookcollections of Guilliaume Schmidt & Edson Sabajo, Nicolás Jaar and Maarten Spruyt, the guests of our first three Chapters.
