Do you want to be intellectually challenged this summer, and conduct embedded research in a creative and critical community at Het HEM in Zaandam?

You will be introduced to theories, discussions, innovative practices and experimental forms of research during workshops and team meetings.
The Community Research Program offers various inspiring workshops and direct supervision of your research by Sr. Researchers of ArtEZ. The research and learning activities of the 8 weeks during program offer diverse and inspiring interactions, directly connected to the Chapter 5IVE: Samir Bantal & Rem Koolhaas exhibition of Het HEM. The exhibition Chapter5IVE is inspired by the architects Samir Bantal and Rem Koolhaas. All activities take place at Het HEM. At the end of your research period, you present your new artistic work (the Innovation of Praxis) in a temporary research exhibtion space in Het HEM.
About the exhibition and the research
Samir Bantal and Rem Koolhaas are the next guests of Het HEM. Since its opening in 2019, cultural centre Het HEM in Zaandam has made a name for itself with its Chapter exhibitions in which every year, a new guest is invited to develop a programme for the factory hall in Zaandam together with its own curators. After previous collaborations with fashion & lifestyle designers Edson Sabajo & Guillaume Schmidt, music composer Nicolás Jaar, stylist Maarten Spruyt and philosopher Simon(e) van Saarloos, Chapter 5IVE is developed in dialogue with the architects Samir Bantal and Rem Koolhaas. Their years of research into recent developments in rural areas form the starting point of an exhibition in which various makers reflect on our current way of life and formulate perspectives for the future.
