MAKE YOUR EVENT A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

Iris Bakker Studio offers a series of different art experiences suited for different kind of events.

I uses various techniques as I portray the guests at a festival, visitors at a museum or your relatives at your wedding or birthday. You can also hire me to come to your event and facilitate the art game 'Kunstspillet' or an Art Casino or a workshop.

KUNSTSPILLET

Kunstspillet is an interactive art game designed by Iris Bakker Studio. The game imitates the art world and is inspired by a combination of role play and monopoly.

In the game each player gets a known role from the art scene, and through solving missions and forming alliances with other players you can win the game. It is all about gaining recognition and earning money. The game is facilitated with Iris Bakker as the game master.

BLIND DRAWING

I blind draw portraits with two hands of the guests at your event. The drawings take a couple of minuts each, so usually I'm placed somewhere and the guests can come by during the event and get their portrait made. Every guest gets to take their portrait home, or the host can gather them and keep them all as a collection.

GLASS DRAWING

I draw portraits on glass fronts on for example stores or buildings or walls build for the experience.

I draw people in scale 1:1 while they stand on the other side of the window, which creates a fun, playful interaction between me and the bypassers who choose to be drawn.

“My experience was intense, lifeaffirming, energy boosting.

Your radience gave and continues to give me great joy.
Thank you for a fantastic experience and for the wonderful (and also surprising) blind drawing of me”

Jeanette Buhl

Guest from blind drawing session at Hearts & Minds at Dokk1, Aarhus

“As responsible for Jyllands-Posten's stage at the Kulturmødet Mors, we hired Iris Bakker to facilitate Kunstspillet.

With a subsequent debate about the value of art, the game gave the audience an insight into the valuation of art. People quickly took on roles such as curator, gallerist, artist, etc., and the participants had an engaging total experience that both informed and provoked debate, laughter and learning.”

Julie Krog Vistisen

“Meeting Iris through the glass is an experience of presence and connection, as well as wonder over the accuracy and speed she draws with. The white lines on the transparent surface leaves a living imprint of the moment that passed and people who left.”

Laura Kjær

ART CASINO

The Art Casino is a concept of a one-day art casino. It challenges the way we think about purchasing art, by making it a gamble.

The casino is a combination or selection of several different games with art prices.
