ARTtube is a collective video channel for art and design in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, M HKA in Antwerp, Gemeentemuseum The Hague, De Pont in Tilburg and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam will now be publishing videos on ARTtube about art and design. The videos, which are all in high quality, will generally be produced by the museums themselves, based on their own expertise. ARTtube has been made possible by SNS REAAL Fund.
ARTtube includes exceptional interviews with reputable artists and designers, plus fascinating portraits of inspirational makers. The museums offer a peep behind the scenes - for example, setting up an exhibition or restoring works of art - and also give the word to curators and restorers. Fiction and experimentation are also included, for example in the Boijmans TV series and in a number of unusual animation and remix films.
ARTtube is bilingual; in other words, most of the videos are also available in English. In this way, the international visitor can learn online more about the Dutch and Belgian museums and their collections and ARTtube will contribute to the international allure and visibility of art and design from the Low Countries.
