Open Open Call for proposals for a residency at Hotel Maria Kapel in 2022
With pleasure and excitement, Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) invites proposals from all kinds of artistic practitioners to develop a project at Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) in 2022. This open call does not invite practitioners to respond to a theme, rather we invite you to raise and conceptualise your questions and urgencies in the form of a project proposal.
The deadline for applications is Monday, 31 May 2021, 00:00.
an interactive art history lecture by Matisse Huiskens, responding to Minne Kersten’s exhibition Constant Companion (in Dutch)
7 May, 17:00, via HMK’s Instagram Live
11 May, online publication on Youtube
After months away from our friends, in isolation, after numerous attempts to distract ourselves in private, not all of us long for a way to escape? Can we find solace in art, while our loved ones are also distracted (or otherwise absent)?
Constant Companion, Minne Kersten
Residency: 1 March – 22 April 2021
Exhibition: 23 April – 29 May 2021
Art History School: 7 May, with Matisse Huiskens (online publication)
Finissage: 29 May, with Maria Barnas (more info follows soon)
Currently, Minne is finishing the last works that will be part of the exhibition Constant Companion. During the online opening on 23 April at 17:00, the artist will welcome you into the exhibition via Instagram Live. In the weeks after, we will keep engaging you with her project through our website and social media. We hope to welcome people to visit the exhibition in person during the finissage on 29 May, depending on current covid regulations. More information will follow soon.
For a professional studio visit, people are invited to make an appointment by sending an email to Minne, minne.kersten@gmail.com.
Rik Dijkhuizen
22-29 April 2021
A place where we keep safe what we cherish deeply and value most. A place of caring, of memory and thought, around which we commune, learn and talk – or in which we hide and spend time alone, to find solace in soothing seclusion.
With Inside Archive, artist and HMK alumnus Rik Dijkhuizen places a monumental yet understated yellow cube on the mezzanine of HMK’s minty green reception area, which explores practices of care within the context of spatial design, archiving, and mental wellbeing. The permanent installation double-functions as a public archive and private hide-out and reflects on the idea of the archive as a living body that needs continuous caring, and living bodies as archives that need caring sanctuaries to withdraw to in times of (personal) peril.

Priscila Fernandes
Residency dates: 1 June – 11 July, 2020
Open for public: 11 June – 11 July, 2020
Cinema: Priscila Fernandes, Portrait of an Artist
After almost three months of being closed to the public, Hotel Maria Kapel [HMK] re-opened its doors for the public with Happier Than a Seagull with a French Fry by artist Priscila Fernandes. With this residency we invited visitors to witness the creation of an impressive new work in Fernandes’ Labour Series, an ongoing reflection on the dichotomy between work and leisure. In times of an almost complete collapse of the boundaries between work private life, socialising and time to enjoy, Fernandes’ project offers a possibility to reflect on the connections between work, our bodies and the systems that connect them.

On Saturday, FvD leader Thierry Baudet placed flowers at the foot of the statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587-1629) in celebration of “his hero”. Although there should be room for different voices to speak up, we do not find the racist and horrific actions of the past heroic. We are in support of the removal of the statue of Coen and will be participating in the peaceful demonstration tomorrow evening (19 June, 19.00, Roode Steen, Hoorn) and strongly feel the demonstration should go forward as planned. We invite everyone who believes in rethinking, rewriting and changing history to work for a better present and future to join the gathering.
Go straight to the podcast Black Women & Rest.
