    OPEN CALL — for The Hague artists

    Open Letters is an open call for artists and writers based in The Hague to occupy our storefront with messages of urgency and vulnerability. Now in its fifth year, this initiative reflects Page Not Found’s long-term commitment to supporting the city’s artistic community-creating space for local voices to speak publicly, intimately, and on their own terms.

    The initiative takes its inspiration from the short essay The Year I Stopped Making Art by artist Paul Maheke, written on March 18, 2020. The essay is both a reflection and a call for solidarity in the current global situation and art world. The essay lists the many unacknowledged inequalities facing artists who do not belong to the privileged ethnicity, gender, or class, and whose practice is threatened in consequence to disappear silently. The Year I Stopped Making Art was the first Letter displayed in our storefront, followed by many others contributed by artists from The Hague.

    The open call will be accepting applications starting Monday May 19, 09:00 until Sunday June 8, 23:59. Apply here.

    This project is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Mondriaan Fund and the Municipality of The Hague.

    Open Letters is een open oproep aan Haagse kunstenaars en schrijvers om onze etalage te bezetten met urgente en kwetsbare boodschappen. Dit initiatief, dat nu voor het vijfde jaar plaatsvindt, weerspiegelt Page Not Found’s lange-termijn toewijding aan het ondersteunen van de artistieke gemeenschap van de stad – het creëren van ruimte voor lokale stemmen om publiekelijk, intiem en op hun eigen voorwaarden te spreken.

    Het initiatief is geïnspireerd op het korte essay The Year I Stopped Making Art van kunstenaar Paul Maheke, geschreven op 18 maart 2020. Het essay is zowel een reflectie als een oproep tot solidariteit in de huidige wereldwijde situatie en kunstwereld. Het essay somt de vele niet erkende ongelijkheden op waarmee kunstenaars te maken hebben die niet tot de bevoorrechte etniciteit, het bevoorrechte geslacht of de bevoorrechte klasse behoren, en wiens praktijk bijgevolg in stilte dreigt te verdwijnen. The Year I Stopped Making Art was de eerste Brief die in onze winkel werd getoond, gevolgd door vele andere bijdragen van Haagse kunstenaars.

    De open call accepteert aanmeldingen vanaf maandag 19 mei 09:00 uur tot en met zondag 8 juni 23:59 uur. Meld je hier aan.

    Dit project is mogelijk dankzij de genereuze steun van het Mondriaan Fonds en de Gemeente Den Haag.

We invite you for the launch of Blended Fibers, a self-published visual research book by Sonia Górecka & Laura Luchtman tracing six key textile fibers—cotton, wool, flax, silk, viscose, and acrylic—through a blend of scientific reference and design exploration. The evening features conversation between the artists, where they reflect on their collaboration, methods, and research.

Please join us for the launch of Dying Livingly, a new book by curator and deathcare practitioner Staci Bu Shea. The evening includes a reading, a conversation with Anna Arov (writer, artist, and grief worker), and a film screening by artist and natural death researcher G.

Part studious, part visceral, Dying Livingly reflects on the material cultures of death and dying, and gestures toward compassionate, community-centered deathcare. Through essays on impermanence, care, and presence, this publication is a quiet yet urgent call to live and die more attentively—together.

Dying Livingly is part of the Solution Series edited by Ingo Niermann and designed by Zak Group, published by Sternberg Press.
