From inspiration from the past to a work of art today, 2023
  • Master class led by Erna van Sambeek
  • Museum de Kantfabriek
  • Americaanseweg 8, 5961 GP Horst
  • 25 June 2023 - 3 September 2023
  • My contribution: "Close call"

So how do you approach that, starting from something that inspires you to create an autonomous work of art? Past inspiration was drawn from a guided tour of Museum de Kantfabriek. From there, the participants proceeded step by step, under the guidance of Erna van Sambeek and learning from each other. The personal, creative process that each

participant enthusiastically embarked upon led to extraordinary, surprising textile works of

art!

The exhibition includes an information folder with texts and photos about the process and the artworks.

 

Participants: Hetty de With, Jolanda Rietdijk, Christa Driessen, Paulien van Asperen, Monica van Leent-Bergkamp, Gina Vos-Spijk, Margreeth Heijs, Anja Rooijakkers



Nevengeul Kampen, IJsselbiënnale 2023

In this exhibition, artists from Kampen connect to the theme of the 2023 IJssel Biennale: EARTH, SOIL, GROUND. They explore the place where they live both literally, in the landscape of the IJssel and the city's history, and figuratively in an investigation into what earth means, or the ground you live on.

At several locations in Kampen; Het Werk, Bovenkerk, and the Stadskazerne.
