OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub join forces to host a residency for Netherlands-based curators and curating artists. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and addressing the residential context the institution is situated in. The selected curator will receive support during the development phase of a project or research initiative, without there being any specific end result to work towards. The idea is to make active use of the spaces in the former washhouse and bathhouse in which the art institution is based. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

Birthquake

Louise Van Tassel
Birthquake was selected for the upcoming Roode Bioscoop X Amarte sessions. Birthquake is the solo music project of Louise Van Tassel. Her compositions are minimalist and introspective, slowly unfolding to capture the quiet, haunting beauty of the mundane. Moments like the fear of falling, waking in the night, or fleeing ghosts through an empty house.Louise has performed as Birthquake at Circusbende Festival (NL), as well as through GLARC and the Events Research Programme in Glasgow. She served as composer and sound designer for See and Don’t See, Olive Jones’s experimental short documentary, which screened at Alchemy Festival and WomenX. Additionally, she composed and designed sound for Bishop May-Down’s Conversations with Eve, a performance presented at the Present Futures Festival at Dundee Rep Theatre.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
