Open Studios

22 & 23 November 2025 | 12:00 - 17:00 | Free entry | Duinstraat 57

On November 22 and 23, See Lab opens its doors once again to the public. 

Explore the studios of See Lab makers and experience their creative practices, visit the group exhibition in the project room, enjoy delicious food and drinks in our bar, and listen to live music, in collaboration with Podium aan Zee.

About the group exhibition ‘Inside Out’

Inside Out brings together artists from See Lab in a collaborative exploration of their individual studio practices. The exhibition reflects on the significance of having a personal space for creation – a safe environment that shelters and shapes the thoughts and ideas of artists, giving them the physical space to let these evolve into different materialities.

There is an inherent vulnerability in the act of moving artworks from the privacy of the studio into the public sphere. Inside Out reveals this intimate process, turning emotions and ideas outward, not only into a physical but also a public realm. Through a wide range of different materials, from atmospheric paintings to edible sculptures and performative acts, the exhibition makes visible the nuance of the artists’ minds and emotions, and the diverse ways they give form to these inner worlds.

Through the interplay between diverse artworks and materialities, See Lab’s project space becomes a transitional area – where the private and the public, the inner and the outer, converge. Here, the thoughts, experiments, and emotions nurtured in the safety of the studio are not only transformed into physical form but also revealed in a visible space, vulnerable to the dialogue between works and the encounter with the public gaze. Inside Out invites visitors to witness this unfolding process, where creation and visibility intertwine, and the usually hidden layers of artistic practice are slowly revealed.
