Landschap in Perspectief:
De Wandelaar/The Wanderer

Curator: Nils van Beek
Artists: Delphine Bedel, Katja van Driel, Wineke Gartz, Dieuwertje Komen, Begoña Muñoz, Robin Pourbaix, Bas Princen and Rob Sweere
In collaboration with SKOR and the Province of Limburg.

Marres Projects opens the cultural season on September 22 with a new project titled The Wanderer, which comprises an exhibition and five routes that focus on different perspectives on the Euregional landscape.

The Wanderer is presented from September 22nd through November 4th at Marres and is part of the long-term programme Landscape in Perspective. The project gives insight into the cultural and historical background of the phenomenon 'wandering', with a specific emphasis on the Euregion. It examines the various guises of the wanderer, such as the tourist, pilgrim, traveling salesmen, homeless, occupant or soldier. The exhibition also presents work by (international) artists, for whom walking is significant for the creative process. Five new (walking) routes have been developed for The Wanderer, which all show a different perspective on the landscape.

Route 1: Wanderschaft

The first route, developed by Birgit Bertram, introduces the wanderer as craftsman in relation to the almost forgotten German tradition of the Wanderschaft. This tradition is examined from a contemporary perspective in a route through the Dutch-German border area, thereby focusing on specific local knowledge and techniques. This route can be walked from September 22 onwards with a special walking guide, which is available at Marres Books.
