The walking tour along the HOOGTIJ (High tide) art locations was a successful event. There were around 65 participants. We divided in two groups one with Lenny Waasdorp and the other Maurits van de Laar and I. We were able to enjoy fully of the showing art thanks to the weather (16 degrees and not a drop rain), the enthusiastic public, the gallerists and the artists.
Thanks to all and who knows, we may repeat it.

HOOGTIJ #19 in The Hague on Friday November 13th 2009.Photos (except when mentioned) © Marisa Polin.
HOOGTIJ (High tide) is the new cultural route along galleries, artist-run spaces and art institutions in the centre of The Hague and takes place four times a year on a Friday evening. The presentations at a HOOGTIJ evening range from white cube to underground art. You’ll find more established art in the galleries and institutions and more experimental art, installations and performances in the artists' initiatives. At HOOGTIJ, these two extremes come together.
