The project The Wanderer, consists of an exhibition and five routes, which focus on different perspectives on the landscape.
The Wanderer is part of the long-term programme Landscape in Perspective, initiated by Marres Projects in collaboration with NAiM/ Bureau Europa and the Province of Limburg. In the exhibition The Wanderer – curated by Nils van Beek – the phenomenon of wandering is approached from a cultural and historical background, and connected to the personal and contemporary perspective of various international artists. The programme of Marres is built up around a series of positions, such as the Dandy, the Dilettant and the Flaneur. With the presentation of the Wanderer, Marres adds a new position to this series.
In the context of the programme Landscape in Perspective, which pre- viously presented innovative projects such as the Sphinxpark Maastricht, the project The Wanderer offers a reflection on the question of memory in relation to the landscape. The wanderer and his walk are of importance in this context, since both are inseparable from – a historical view of – the landscape.
With work by, amongst others: Delphine Bedel, Wineke Gartz, Katja van Driel, Begoña Muñoz, Robin Pourbaix and Bas Princen. Exhibition essay: Peter Peters.
