Landschap in Perspectief

At the request of the Provincial Executive of Limburg, Marres Projects has developed the program Landscape in Perspective in collaboration with Bureau Europa and SKOR. This agenda-setting project has both a cultural historical focus and an innovative vision. The latter is the outcome of a process in which the government, in this case the Province of Limburg, assumes the role of commissioner. This shift from condition-setting funding authority to active partner with a specific question and ambition results in an R&D policy with both a cultural and a social value. In developing the program, Marres took the policy of the Province as starting point. This approach is not only reflected in addressing cultural and artistic issues, but also in formulating possible answers concerning questions as population decline, durability, agricultural development and the relationship between city and countryside; themes that are eminently part of the social processes in our society.

A glimpse of the dynamics within a collecting art institute
Can death, decay and blood indeed be so beautiful, almost seductive? 
Consumerist excess and the fiction of economic speculation
Create or destroy
Every bird can only sing what it is able to hear
Health as common good and social capital
How to deal with this new reality?
is the idea of a school still grounded in the locality of a physical environment?
The ultimate symbol of godlessness
Trust me - I'm a designer
We'll be rich tonight!
Without a palace of glass, life is a burden
