Departure Sandberg2, Presentation Hotel Mariakapel
At the departure of the Sandberg Institute from Hoorn on 1 Dec 2002, the first presentation of Hotel Mariakapel took place. Jos Houweling, the director of the Sandberg Institute, gave a "relay race stick" to Hotel Mariakapel (from a dutch expression, but we really got the stick, which was given to the Sandberg Institute when they took over the chapel from the Achterstraat Foundation in 1996). On the walls of the chapel was written in large letters: "what would you do with this space?" This was a question to artists as well as to the local public, playing with the discussion that had taken place around the destination of the chapel, but also to welcome proposals and suggestions for the programming.
