Publications
Artists-in-residence, asked to create an exhibition, an installation or a publication, were provided with an apartment, studio space, and materials. Known artists that had events at the Apollohuis were for instance Ellen Fullman, Glenn Branca, Michel Waisvisz, Pauline Oliveros, Pierre Bastien, The Hub (band), Nicolas Collins, Maciunas Ensemble, Max Eastley. The organization gave out a series of books and publications on each anniversary that the building was open. Also, under the editorial name Het Apollohuis Eindhoven, and stamp featuring Art About Apollo, they published different monographs, CDs and catalogues about the shows and exhibitions which were taking place. Their last closing catalogue included several letters from artists, who at some point collaborated with the institution. Also a full artist reference was printed as back-cover design. The archive of Het Apollohuis, all together with a handful of audio, text and image documents, is indexed, documented and scientifically preserved in the archives of ZKM since 2009.
