Call deadline: 21st February 2012
Residency: 1 March – 1 April 2012

HMK offers a unique LASTMINUTE residency opportunity for visual artists (or collectives)

This spring, HMK opens up a short window of opportunity for visual artists who have an extraordinary project lying around, just waiting to be executed.

If selected, your residency starts on March 1st, and will be finished on Sunday April 1st, with a finissage. HMK will help you find the networks and resources necessary to complete your work and offers you full and free use of all residency facilities, an empty chapel, a small production budget of 1000 Euros, and a travel reimbursement of (up to) 500 Euros. HMK will also take care of PR and the finissage.

Last year, Edwin Stolk was selected for HMK's LASTMINUTE residency. During his stay at HMK, he further developed his concept of 'The Organisation' and used the MariaKapel as his main office.

HMK {Hotel MariaKapel}
HMK is an artist-run residency and project space in Hoorn, a 16th century town by the IJsselmeer, just 40 km north of Amsterdam. In the old center of the town, in a mediaeval orphanage with adjacent inner garden and Maria Chapel, HMK receives artists from all over the world.

Hotel Mariakapel has grown from the ideal to create a concentrated work- and presentation place, where dialogue and collaboration inform experimental, context-based visual art projects. It was set up and is still run by a dedicated team of artists, assisted by local and international volunteers.

The programme involves artists working in a wide range of media, focusing on installation and context based work, video/film and performance art. Projects are developed both in public space and in the chapel’s exhibition space. Artists arrive on an individual basis or in groups, but the aim is always to create new work and during the process, gain from each other’s vision, questions and experience.
