Essay door Brigitte Bloksma

Sinds 2009 is Marres onderdeel van de landelijke basisinfrastructuur. Met deze nieuwe verantwoordelijkheid is de beslissing genomen een projectbureau op te zetten. Marres Projects functioneert als een katalysator voor regionale en internationale samenwerking en adresseert cultuurpolitieke thema's in de vorm van publicaties, exposities en lezingen. Deze verschillende projecten worden in partnership met culturele instellingen, musea, commerciële organisaties, universiteiten en overheden ontwikkeld.

Brigitte Bloksma, programmadirecteur binnen Marres Projects, heeft een artikel geschreven dat reflecteert op de unieke werkwijze van Marres Projects en de legitimiteit van de culturele infrastructuur voor de overheid en de maatschappij. Dit artikel is gepubliceerd in het Dossier Cultuurbeleid 3.0 van de Boekmanstichting.

Guus Beumer wins Cultural Entrepeneur Prize Maastricht

Guus Beumer, director of Marres, has won the Cultural Entrepeneur Prize Maastricht (COP). He received this prize from former theater director Jacques Giesen, who was awarded with the first COP in 2006. Giesen decided to forward the prize to Guus Beumer, because he definately meets the profile of a cultural entrepeneur. In the words of Jacques Giesen: "Guus Beumer is not only a succesful manager, who knows how to act in difficult situations, but he is also a cultural entrepeneur with a strong social complicity. He connects a sense of reality and economical thinking to engagement, which he wishes to see reflected in visual arts and design, without losing quality. He has turned Marres and NAI Maastricht into top institutes with a (inter)national importance".
