On Thursday afternoon, an exhibition was opened at the Erasmus Gallery, commemorating Carmen Heijmerink, who was the driving force behind Erasmus University\u2019s art collection, until she and her partner and colleague Jeroen Bodewits died in a car crash in 2014.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was curated by volunteer Kim de Vries, who used to work with Heijmerink and Bodewits, and by Heijmerink\u2019s sister and daughter. It showcases works which were particularly meaningful to her.<\/p>\n

'Painful, but great'<\/h3>

\u201cIt\u2019s a painful experience, being here, but also great,\u201d said Heijmerink\u2019s sister Judith at the opening of the exhibition, which drew quite a crowd. \u201cCarmen herself found this the most enjoyable part of her job: curating exhibitions. It has allowed us to look at the things she poured her heart and soul into through her eyes.\u201d She said curating the exhibition was \u201cnice\u201d and \u201ccomforting\u201d work to do.<\/p>\n
