Cengiz Imamdi & Wieger Windhorst & Wildbarz

Name any music band and there’s a good chance Gengiz Imamdi is familiar with them. Even more so if it happens to be a death-
or black metal band. He’s been working at Galerie Atelier Herenplaats in Rotterdam and combines many different references in his drawings and paintings. When Wieger Windhorst (one of Outsiderwear’s founders) saw a drawing that depict Minnie and Micky Mouse, Jesus Christ, Johnny Depp, Dutch duo Nick & Simon with the Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral, he deeply touched by this artistic meeting.

Several times a month, Wieger and Cengiz came together in Rotterdam to draw bands like Korn, Dimmu Borgir and Lordi. Together with drawings by Vera Boels (who works at De Witte Olifant) and Jan Hoek, they were then turned into a series of epic fan-made band shirts.

The Grand Palace of Everyone

In collaboration with No Limits! Art Castle

Curator
  • Heske ten Cate & Jan Hoek

Welcome to ‘The Grand Palace of Everyone’, a land without borders where collaboration reigns.

Together with No Limits! Art Castle (formerly known as Outsiderland) we tear down the walls between fantasy and reality, art and design, and ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ artists. Why would anyone decide who is ‘professional enough’ to enter the gates?

The Grand Palace of Everyonerolls out a black and white carpet for the work of over sixty artists in 26 unique collaborations between talented and dedicated artists. Side by side they find their way in the art world and present a broad scope of collaborations in every nook and cranny of Nest. Never before have so many artists shared the space in one exhibition.
