MASTERY SNEEKERS PROJECT
Meesterlijk Sneekers was created in the run-up to the year of Cultural Capital Leeuwarden / Fryslân 2018. The theme "Mienskip" inspired artist Imke Meester to develop an exhibition in which the Sneker community is part of the project.
Due to the fame of the people portrayed, she lowers the threshold to visual art. The conversations about these paintings, which arise spontaneously between the spectators, confirm their mutual connection.
PORTRAIT OF THE MIENSKIP PROJECT
Simultaneously with an exhibition of realistic painted portraits, Imke created a contemporary work of art that contrasted in appearance and experience with the detailed traditional portrait paintings.
During the duration of the exhibition, a stylized portrait of the "de Mienskip" in 3D was built up by means of photo portraits of the visitors.
The double-sided printed portraits move around their axis in the air currents, so that the sculpture is subtly formed from other portraits every now and then.
SILENCE FLIGHT PROJECT
In collaboration with the steel company Chessa and the Steenklip stonemasonry, Imke designs a work of art for the auditorium of a new funeral home "Memoriam" in Rotterdam, commissioned by the funeral company Bakker van Bezeij, Scholts and Kloeg. The assignment was to create a neutral object to which people can drift off during the funeral ceremony. An image that ties in with various beliefs and beliefs.
This resulted in a work of art with a daring construction.
Heavy granite slabs combined with plexiglass were installed as "floating trays" with steel cables.
