Time, timeless, movement - 350 years of balance spring

The exhibition ‘Time, timeless, movement’ offers artists a platform to experiment and explore how time affects their work and how they interpret and experience time. This can lead to a wide range of artistic expressions, from paintings and sculptures to installations, videos and multimedia works. Artists are encouraged to be creative and to let their imaginations run wild, while being inspired by the theme of time and its impact on our lives and culture.

The exhibition will be held at the Mesdag Hall from 19 July to 10 August 2025. The official opening will take place at 17:00 on Saturday 19 July and will be performed by Corinne Cicéron Bühler, ambassador of Switzerland. An extra boost will be given by inviting the Dutch watch industry to present itself during the opening weekend.

For the best artwork, ‘De Haegsche Tijd Prijs’ has been made available, which will be awarded by Jan van Zanen, mayor of The Hague. The jury for this interesting prize includes: Jeroen Trimbos, Alexandra Siebelink, Anneke Krijgsman, Nico Kervezee and Marieta Reijerkerk as chairman.
