Spraying whipped cream on your cupcake, the bottles going into the glass recycling bin after your party, or the last dollop of mayo you squeeze out of the bottle: together with artist Elise ‘t Hart, we are looking for the sound of celebration at the table. Invite the LAM museum to your party or add your video with sound to the archive.
Lighting the candles on your cake, uncorking the champagne, or that crunching rusk with sprinkles: these are the sounds you usually don’t consciously hear but later instantly bring you back to past birthdays or special milestones in your life. The LAM museum and sound artist Elise ‘t Hart are looking for celebration sounds. These celebration sounds will eventually form an artwork that will be on display at the LAM museum from the Christmas holiday 2024/2025.
Have you graduated, is it your birthday, are you having a baby, getting married, or do you have something else to celebrate? Invite the LAM museum to your party in June 2024 via info@lammuseum.nl. Together, we will immortalize your unique celebration sound.
You can also add a sound to the database yourself. Make a horizontal video with a celebration sound and upload it to artist Elise ‘t Hart’s website. The video with the celebration sound should:
Be related to food, drink, or shopping (the theme of our collection)
Be recorded in landscape mode
Try to make the surroundings quiet for a moment so that your celebration sound can be heard clearly
Everyone has them and everyone takes them: photos of the birthday person blowing out the candles, photos of the family at Christmas dinner, and endless photos of the bride and groom cutting the cake. Artist Elise ‘t Hart finds this strange. Sounds are much more evocative. Like scents, sounds instantly take you back to past moments. As an artist, Elise ‘t Hart wants to give everyday sounds a stage. Over the past few years, she has built a large collection of sounds: the Institute for Household Sound, where you can hear squeaky faxes, shuffling slippers, starting team meetings, and steaming coffee machines.
Now, together with the LAM museum, she is starting a new chapter and a new collection: the sound of celebration at the table in the Netherlands.

They say everyone has a soulmate, someone with whom you have a deep connection. We think art also has the power to connect. Our connections not only run deep but also taste great.
