Photographer and visual artist Romy Finke (1961, Schaesberg) has been represented in SCHUNCK’s municipal collection since 1998. As an artist, she develops a visually and conceptually refined practice at the intersection of photography and visual art. Finke is affiliated with the Jan van Eyck Academy and has previously been active in Heerlen through, among others, Kunstencentrum Signe (kuS).
Guided by the idea of making the collection increasingly visible - especially beyond the museum walls - Finke is working on a new commissioned collection project for SCHUNCK. The resulting artistic intervention offers a fresh perspective on the city, its architecture, and the role of the collection as a tool for public reflection and wonder.
The commission aligns with Finke’s community-curatorial approach. In addition to creating new work for the Glaspaleis, she invites artists who are close to her both personally and professionally into the staircase: Karin Peulen, Nieke Lemmens, Nonzuzo Gxekwa, and her two sisters, Francy and Petra, with whom Finke forms f.
