Marres in Between:
This Is Not A Damien Hirst
03 – 07 december 2008
Posters: Maureen Mooren
Lectures: Mgr. E. de Jong and Prof. Dr. G. Rooijakkers
Essay: Louise Schouwenberg and Guus Beumer
With the project focussing on the Flaneur, Marres completed her inquieries into the 19th century. As a preparation for the program of 2009 and the research into the great avant-gardes of the 20th century, Marres organizes two presentations. Both aspire to shed a new light on the current system of values within art and design, a state of affairs in which more than ever before the attention is directed at the tangible, physical, which attains its value from manual dexterity and a rich quality of materials.
This Is Not A Damien Hirst focuses on the work For the Love of God by Damien Hirst, which is presented simultaneously at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Through some posters in the public space in Maastricht and Amsterdam (Maureen Mooren) and the presentation of so-called devotion objects from the treasury of the St-Servaes Church in Maastricht, Marres tries to stimulate the public discussion about this work. The discussion will be introduced by Mgr. E. de Jong and Prof. Dr. G. Rooijakkers.
Accompanying the two presentations Marres published an essay written by Louise Schouwenberg and Guus Beumer, titled In een wereld van Teveel is Teveel hetzelfde.
