I started my project on Hyves in May 2008. Hyves is a social networking tool like facebook, friendster and linkedin.

 I asked people, initially unknown to me, to be my friend. If they accepted and added me to their group of friends, I was allowed to see the photographs in their profile. From these I picked one.

I then copied this photo with brushes and ink. After the drawing was finished, I made a digital image of it, which I posted on my own profile. Then I gave notice to my friend that his or her drawing was done. All drawings combined with the reactions and comments form one large work of art.

Special Projects

Stijn zegt Hey,  Touchscreen,  Kom je in mijn schilderij?

Because drawing is the preferred technique ( up to now) for the special projects you can find information about them in the Gallery under the header Drawings

13 April. an exhibition with painters Peter Kantelberg and Tom de Groot at Teekengenootschap Pictura, Dordrecht

I've documented the final show of the Dutch artists initiative Lokaal 01  in 64 drawings. I post them on my Facebookpage and will make a small publication later on. A small souvenir of an initiative that was active for 35 years and will be dearly missed.

Open-source painting,  in a variety of posts I give a step-by-step account of my research into traditional painting techniques. The page can be found on Facebook.

The Graphic Workshop 's Hertogenbosch has asked me to make the Friends' Print of this year, in connection with the presentation of this print I will show the 'Zelfportret"-etchings in a group exhibit called Grafische Verkenningen 2, http://www.gadenbosch.nl/

Anneke van Wolfswinkel visited my studio this week and wrote a text for Hallo 040, a digital newspaper for Eindhoven. http://www.hallo040.nl/cultuur/eindhoven-maakt-kunst-stijn-peeters/

The Drawing Center asked me to do a masterclass on the 8th and 9th of december. For information: http://www.kunstvereniging.nl/  nl/tentoonstellingen/drawingcentre/stijn-peeters-people-we-may-know/ It was a really nice experience with a lot of in depth discussions with a very stimulating group of artists over two days and I'm sure that these two days are the start of many interesting new projects.

 

Michiel Morel wrote a text about my work ( it's in Dutch) about Eindhoven and puts me alongside artists Hans Biezen, René Daniels and Piet Dirkx.  Onder de rook van Van Abbe (2): Piet Dirkx en Stijn Peeters in E’ven | Michiel Morel www.michielmorel.nl
