Myrte Legerstee's 'What if?' Exhibition at Museum Het Schip: Surreal Art & Social Commentary

This temporary exhibition in the lunchroom of Museum Het Schip features the raw, cynical, and surreal illustrations of Myrte Legerstee. The works use absurdity to question societal constructs and the sustainability of life.

Running from September 14 to October 30, 2023, the 'What if?' exhibition at Museum Het Schip showcases the work of Dutch artist Myrte Legerstee. Legerstee, known for her raw, cynical, and surreal illustrations, uses absurdity as a tool to provoke thought about societal structures and human relationships. Her inspiration stems from conversations, philosophy, history, and news, resulting in works that are both narrative and layered, employing a collage technique that combines analog charcoal drawings with digital color. The exhibition draws a parallel between the Amsterdamse School's engagement with the organization of daily life and contemporary issues such as climate change and social constructs. Legerstee exaggerates and employs absurdity to scrutinize these topics, posing fundamental philosophical questions about the livability of our world. All exhibited works are available for purchase directly from the artist.
