Clothes as the first house

Meulendijks has gained access to an extensive collection of drawings and texts on clothing, carefully preserved in the Van der Laan archive at Sint-Benedictusberg Abbey.

Dress no. 5
In the corner room of Bureau Europa , Meulendijks presents the work "Dress No. 5", a reinterpretation of a sewing pattern designed by Van der Laan. In her search for the essence of a garment (in relation to architectural structures), she worked on this rug for three months. The perception of time is part of the research.

Architecture and art
Ingeborg Meulendijks works in the overlap area between architecture and art. Her research "Clothing" is part of the Cella research programme at the Academy of Architecture Maastricht and is conducted in dialogue with the Soft Materials workshop at the Maastricht Academy of Art.
