Shout into the crowd: Artists Work in Horeca

In English

Shout into the crowd: Artists Work in Horeca is an exhibition showcasing artists working in the horeca (catering) department of Het Nationale Theater. Curated by WaitingSnake Studios – run by Emily Stevenhagen and Clara Sharell – this exhibition brings together the artists Sonya Usamskaia, Ira Grünberger, Bjarte Wildeman, Tinka Kovačič, Peter Pflügler, Enrico Carpi and Madelief Severin, presenting their projects in the foyer of Theater aan het Spui.

For a whole month, accompanied by a performance program on the 10th of September, these artists will present their projects; ranging from photography, installation, film, illustration and performance, within the building where they work.

Shout into the crowd: Artist’s Work in Horeca attempts to shine light on the combined work lives of emerging artists, where artists often work in Horeca of cultural institutions to support themselves and their practices.

About the Artists Work in Horeca series

This is the second edition of the exhibition series Artists Work in Horeca curated by WaitingSnake Studios. Clara Sharell and Emily Stevenhagen, two emerging artists themselves who met working the Horeca team at Amare, were inspired by the many artists they met working at this theatre. They felt compelled to create a platform that brings attention to the creative backgrounds of front-of-house staff who serve the public every day, whilst also bringing attention to the double-sided reality of the working life of many artists.

Opening and exhibition times

Shout into the crowd opens on the 6th of September from 18:30-22:00 with a programme of talks, discussions, a film screening and more.

The exhibition will be open during opening hours of Theater aan het Spui from 7 September to 7 October.
