In March 2025, Platform Culturele Vacatures published an interview by Nienke Piena with Menno Dudok van Heel and Yvonne Grootenboer, curators of Art Affairs at the Amsterdam UMC, about art in the hospital. In it they talked about the difference between the hospital and the museum, the art collection and the target group: patients, relatives and employees of the Amsterdam UMC. You can read the full interview here (only available in Dutch).

“Everyone comes to the hospital! Here, viewers need to be able to understand an artwork even without context. That makes a hospital a more exciting place for me to work as a curator, compared to the 'safe space' of a museum.”
