Inspiring activities during the final weeks of 'Andy Warhol: Vanitas'
The exhibition Andy Warhol: Vanitas is on display at SCHUNCK until 16 March. To mark its final weeks, we are organising a selection of special events.
You can combine your visit to the exhibition with a film screening, lecture, performance, or concert. Additional guided tours also offer a deeper insight into Warhol’s fascination with transience and spirituality.
Concert: Bettie Serveert plays Velvet Underground and More
Friday 7 March 2025 | Nieuwe Nor | 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM | € 22,50
To mark the closing of Andy Warhol: Vanitas, Bettie Serveert will perform a special concert featuring their favourite Velvet Underground songs alongside their own work. Warhol managed the band from 1965 to 1967 and designed their iconic album cover with the yellow banana. It promises to be a unique evening where art, music, and history come together.
Film Screening: As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty
Sunday 9 March 2025 | Filmhuis De Spiegel | 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM | € 10,-
SCHUNCK and Filmhuis De Spiegel present this remarkable film by Jonas Mekas: a five-hour poetic montage of everyday beauty, memories, and transience. Everything that matters in life unfolds in this documentary, which arguably has the most beautiful film title ever. Includes an intermission.

Wednesday 12 March 2025 | Cultuurhuis Heerlen | 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM| Free (registration required)
SCHUNCK and Toon Hermans Huis Parkstad present an inspiring afternoon with grief expert Manu Keirse and dancer Bo Jacobs.
