by Harriet Rose Morley, in the framework of Tender Loving Care

We are about to enter the last week of our crowdfunding campaign Tender Loving Care for HMK at voordekunst.nl! Until now we managed to raise two-third of the funds needed to realise the project. Help us reach our €3000,- goal, receive nice rewards in return and contribute to a much-needed update of our building. Visit voordekunst.nl/projecten/9349 and donate now!
For the period September-October 2019, artists Kevin Hunt and Harriet Rose Morley have been invited to redevelop the reception rooms of HMK. Together they will investigate how the spaces are currently being used, where the specific needs of the users and the public lie, and come up with inventive solutions to turn HMK into a pleasant, welcome place again. This ‘update’ does not proceed according to a predetermined plan but must be understood as an ongoing dialogue between artist, space and the organization. At the end of October the first results will be shown at HMK.
HMK has launched a crowdfunding campaign for this project. Donate now via voordekunst.nl, receive nice rewards and help us to realize this project.
Thursday 19 September HMK organised a DIY furniture test workshop together with one of the current artists in residence, Harriet Morley. The HMK team and the participants of the De Appel Curatorial Programme were invited to work together on building a chair, solely using wooden sticks, a saw, a hammer and some nails.
Crowdfunding campaign: 31 aug – 6 okt 2019

HMK needs your help to perform some much needed maintenance to the entrance, bar, shop and office. With your donation to the crowdfunding campaign we can turn the building back into a pleasant, welcome place for artists, employees and visitors.
