Producing one another
by Alina Lupu & Valy Lupu
residency in Hoorn: July 2021
residence at a distance: until end 2021
Alina Lupu’s residency at HMK is one of two long-term research residencies of the year program On Shelter. Through this theme the artists in residence are examining notions of home and safety, motherhood and reproductive labour, climate catastrophe and transness and sleep. The long-term residencies don’t necesseraly develop into an outcome such as an exhibition, so stay tuned to follow continuous process.
Inside Archive
Rik Dijkhuizen
permantent installation
opening (online): 1 June – 5 June 2021
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.
Art History School; Enter/Exit
an interactive art history lecture by Iskra Vukšić, responding to the project Schelter in Place by Setareh Noorani & Matt Plezier
Thursday 10 June, 19:30,
RESERVE YOUR SEAT or join us via HMK’s Instagram Live (In Dutch)
*online publication on Youtube in the week after
Enter/Exit is a lecture around architecture as shelter. In a series of personal notes and associations, Iskra Vukšić juxtaposes the act of withdrawing inside our homes with that of departing. Through anecdotes of her home country and explorations of the material of concrete, she wonders: when do buildings harbour us, and under what conditions are we bound to leave them?

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.

In response to Black Lives Matter and the upcoming demonstration in Hoorn
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.
