6 December: Verhalen onder de sterren; overnachten in de kapel
Calendar
Welcome to Hotel Maria Kapel
Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) is an artist-in-residence, exhibition space and cinema for contemporary visual art in the city centre of Hoorn. Hotel Maria Kapel was built as a chapel belonging to a 16th-century monastery.
HMK is a non-profit organization that aims to assist young as well as more established artists from all over the world in the production of new work and promote exchanges between national and international artists, cultural institutions and the public.
2023 Program
’Grammatica van de architectuur’
This year's theme HMK reflects on their role as translator. Translation between different local and international communities, visual languages and topics that escape words or have been silenced. Just as the grammar conditions the possibilities of expression in a language, the surrounding architecture is also a decisive factor for the making process of an artist. Therefore we invite the following artist to start a conversation with the specific context, local communities and history and we listen with curiosity to the questions they pose.
HMK is proud to present the 2023 artists-in-residence: Gijsje Heemskerk & Bernice Nauta, Narges Mohammadi, Raffia Li, Sijben Rosa, Dito Yuwono & Mira Asriningtyas, David Camargo & Amauta García.
2024 Program
’Slow motion’
At times, things move too fast to be seen clearly by the naked eye. We seem to lack a proper understanding of how they progress, grow and evolve. We then wish for it to slow down and allow us to have a closer look at its details, mechanisms and movements in order to make sense of the world we live in. This year’s artists in residence at Hotel Maria Kapel help us to look through a slow motion lens that lays bare the world around us, frame by frame.
Hotel Maria Kapel is excited to enter 2024 with the year program Slow motion; a year of delay, with artists Kwinnie Lê, Amalie ‘Sveske’ Ourø, Isabel Cordeiro, Ratu R. Saraswati (Saras) and Hira Nabi.
