Residency
Ingeborg Meulendijks graduated from Maastricht Academy of fine arts and design in 1990 and did an post-academic year at Jan van Eyck Academie in the year after. Since then she had several exhibitions for example at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, at Museum van Bommel van Dam in Venlo or at Museum Helmond. She held the Mondriaan fund many times and started teaching in Maastrich in 2005 before she had the chance of a Professorship in Gestaltung & Gestaltungstheorie at the Universität Siegen Architektur from 2008-2012.
Discipline
architectual sculpture
Ingeborg Meulendijks' architectonic scale models pare down interiors to their very essence. The viewer is led to ponder the meaning of a house, a home, and of housing, as well as the emotions tied to these concepts. The artist's photographs show fragments of the scale models as realistic interiors, fully furnished and decorated. The spaces depicted could be actual rooms where people live. Meulendijks' short films show the models being carried through abandoned buildings or over desolate terrain, reflecting the contrast between inside and out, openness and seclusion, vulnerability and security.
Year of participation
2021
Within the call of New Views, my thoughts immediately go to the research and design of an enclosed garden, or a Hortus Conclusus. I see green oases before me, enclosed paradise gardens in public space, places of stillness for nature, animals and man. In architecture, axes are used to designate a space.
