Rumour Has It
Marres Centre for Contemporary Culture, Maastricht
A selection of contemporary art practice, featuring the work of inspired, young artists from the regions around Maastricht. Works by 19 emerging artists, with stories, shapes, colours, and performances.
Curated by Hélène Webers and Mels Evers
Marres Currents #2: Rumour Has It is the second episode of the annual exhibition series titled Marres Currents. With this series, Marres presents recent graduates from art academies in the Southern Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. While offering emerging artists and curators a platform, Marres also aims to build an international infrastructure for talent development.
Rumour Has It presents a selection of contemporary art practice, featuring the work of inspired, young artists from the regions around Maastricht. It is an impressive selection, with works by nineteen emerging artists, who, after their time at the academy, are now exhibiting their work to a wider public. These are statements, each with its own execution and themes, which challenge the audience to view the work not as an irrefutable end product, but as a layered means of expression. In relation to current tendencies in contemporary art, the selected artists' work is both surprising and convincing. They've taken flight from the art academies, with their sights firmly set on crossingborders. Now their work is seeing the light of day, it represents a contemporary current within the visual arts.
Rumour Has It is a proposition for searching and finding, both for the artists and the visitor. Amidst environments brimming with stories, shapes, colours, and performances, both can meet somewhere in the middle.
