David Bade tekent Heerlen onder de tafel
The public studio is part of the lifelong collaboration between SCHUNCK Museum and David Bade. This means that during his life, Bade regularly returns to Heerlen to record residents of Heerlen in constantly changing settings and surroundings. These works will be added to the municipal collection managed by SCHUNCK. This creates an image archive that records Heerlen's dna. By purchasing David Bade's work, SCHUNCK is stepping outside the walls of the museum and entering into a long-term dialogue with the city and its inhabitants.
The week of Psychiatry
The Week of Psychiatry is dedicated to all people (with or without a psychiatric background) who are committed to improve the position and life of people with mental and psychiatric problems. During this week extra attention is paid to making mental health care more humane; breaking through isolation, improving living conditions, the relationship between psychiatry and society, financial position, information facilities and offering more options.
