Metamorphosis

Welcome to ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands. We cover Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and everything in between and nearby – an area known as Randstad. Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated on a daily basis.

If you are promoting any events, please let us know and we’ll probably be able to list them.

NOT ONLY, BUT ALSO . . . some dates for your diary

Here’s a run down of some other events coming up in the next few weeks in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby and in between. . .

There is so much going on in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and nearby there are hardly enough days in the week to see or do everything. Luckily a lot of the exhibitions, events and tours run for quite a long time so if you have missed anything, don’t worry, it may still be running.

JACOB JOHN SHALE on . . . the arts

Each month Amsterdam-based writer Jacob John Shale reports on aspects of the arts which originate in, or are connected to, The Netherlands. This month, he writes about Dutch artist Jozef Israëls’ magnificent painting Fishermen Carrying a Drowned Man which is in The National Gallery in London.

ROSALBA CARRIERA – Perfection in Pastel in Dresden

Some artists are simply known by their first name Leonardo and Michelangelo being the most famous. However, there are also female painters of great acclaim of whom Artemisia is probably the most well-known. But there is one other female artist whose first name was enough to make you swoon: Rosalba.
Three hundred and fifty years after Rosalba Carriera’s birth her name again is the talk of the town, especially when this town is Dresden.

Although we concentrate on Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam and everything else in between and nearby there are lots of other interesting events happening elsewhere

The ArtsTalk Podcast

ArtsTalk Radio

An American theme for this programme. We talk to Erwin Beijersbergen of the ERWIN BEIJERSBERGEN TRIO about their tribute to a great American jazz pianist with their new album A TOUCH OF BILL EVANS and we play a track from it. We start in The Hague where we meet CHRISTOPHER MULLEN whose recently opened ACME STUDIOS specializes in old typewriters and anything to do with them.

Dominican Bookstore in Maastricht

In December 2006 a bookstore was established for the first time in Maastricht’s 13th century Dominican Church, right in the centre of town. After the intensive restoration of the monument, architectural firm Merkx & Girod designed the interior of the bookstore with 1200m2 of retail space – in spite of the fact that there was only 850m2 of floor space available. The architects wanted to emphasize the height and space of Gothic architecture. They saw the solution for this in a monumental walk-in bookcase with multiple floors, placed asymmetrically in the church.
