Heuvel Zes, Laarbeek
Who do you think of most during these dark days? What message would you like to leave behind? Or what words would you like to share with others? The light artwork In Memoriam is entirely dedicated to your thoughts, wishes and memories of loved ones. Write down your words and see them projected in large format onto the wall, alongside other meaningful sentences and messages. What would you write?
In Memoriam supports a charitable cause and is made possible by Rotaryclub Gemert-Bakel & Laarbeek, in collaboration with Lieshout C. Your contribution of €2.50 to light a candle supports the visibility of art and local artists in villages. With these funds, we give artists a platform, bring people together and create space for creativity to grow.
In Memoriam is part of the growing Lieshout art project Reuring op de Heuvel (on display at Heuvel 6), where art, stories and people come together. The project was initiated by artist Fren Klomp, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this year. Artist Suzanne Kollen is now continuing the project as art coordinator and curator. Participating artists include Suzanne Kollen, Judith Verhoeven, De Buufjes (Sandra and Marleen), Zwager (Stanley Majewski) and Kim Weijland. Their artworks are inspired by Lieshout, its history, surroundings and stories. Some of the works also commemorate Fren and his connection to this place.
This artwork reminds us that an idea, memory or story does not have to disappear when someone or something is no longer there. Together, we keep memories alive.
