iCOON offers cultural creators their Artspace

With her solo exhibition, artist Fransje Killaars is already gently signaling the next stage of iCOON Hoek van Holland’s evolution; one that is colorful and deeply meaningful. Our ideal is to transform into a community comprising the most diverse group of creators possible. We love the dynamics, diversity, and quality that creators bring—dancers, musicians, designers, filmmakers, architects, artists, spoken-word performers and more. They make iCOON an even better place—for Rotterdam, for Hoek van Holland, and for a wider audience. Step by step, we are evolving into a cultural space rather than just a museum. Are you a creator? Then iCOON is here for you.

Do you —or does your group— want to explore or realize an idea, plan, or project at iCOON? Do you think you can help transforming iCOON? Submit your idea, plan, or project by the end of October to post@icoonhvh.nl. Feel free to call with any questions. You can also visit us on Sunday, September 20, or October 4 and 11 to see the location, ask questions, or briefly explain your idea.

iCOON provides the venue and assists with fundraising. You handle the curation, programming, and execution. Collaboration is at the heart of it all.

We eagerly look forward to seeing what the future holds for these creators, iCOON, Hoek van Holland, and Rotterdam.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE, TO STAY THE SAME

Dune Valley & Museum iCOON

iCOON Hoek van Holland is situated in a beautiful spot in the Voorduin, ‘sandwiched’ between the Nieuwe Waterweg and the North Sea. A small-scale, high-quality dune valley where it is a pleasure to be, even if you have no interest in art. Inside, the former ammunition bunker houses a museum for contemporary art & design. Outside, a dune landscape with a lovely terrace for bon vivants, maritime, nature, and heritage enthusiasts.
Artists Joram Raaijmakers and Krijn de Koning designed the UITzWAAI and the Duinkamer respectively, with respect for the history of the area. From the observation tower, you have a magnificent view of the Nieuwe Waterweg, the dunes, and the sea. The tower is inspired by the watchtowers of the Cold War, while the Duinkamer is inspired by the adjacent bunker. In the transparent, above-ground tunnel system, you experience the dunes by walking through the thickness of the adjacent bunker walls.
