Marres Currents #4 Running Time
Nathalie de Corte | Elegies
Marres presents the fourth episode of the annual exhibition series titled Marres Currents with work of recent graduates from art academies in the Southern Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The curators Barbara Cueto and Bas Hendrikx present in this edition of Marres Currents the exhibition Running Time. It refers to the moment before an idea solidifies – the occasion that ignites the creative process.
The sound installation The Distribution of the Audible by Espen Sommer Eide is a reflection upon the role of sound in times of unrest and uproar. How is sound distributed from the government down to the individual, and how does the unified voice of the people ecco back to the places of power? Where and how is the structure of sound distributed in society? The main part of the installation consists of a custom made public address sound system constructed of discarded public speakers from various countries and organisations. The speakers, that previously were fixed outside and inside buildings, have been made portable and battery powered so they can easily be moved and displaced to new locations. The frequency of the sound from these speakers is narrow and shrill, and purposely shaped to make a human voice cut through the noise and clamour of a crowded place.
Specially for the exhibition Undertones, organised. by Marres, the sound installation was installed in the old monastery and prison cellars of the Minderbroeders. In what used to be places of silent repentance and reflection, the artist has created a site specific sound composition.
Listen to a fragment of the sound installation here.
Graindelavoix developed a sound installation for Undertones in the crypt of the Basilica of St. Servatius. The Graindelavoix music collective was formed by Björn Schmelzer in 2000. The company performs worldwide and is renowned for its interpretations of European musical traditions. For Marres they worked on a new composition called Maastricht Cryptonomies in The Basilica of St. Servatius, based on the oldest office chants from the Netherlands, which are dedicated to Saint Servatius. In Maastricht Cryptonomies, Graindelavoix interprets the antiphons and responsoria of Saint Servatius. The medieval legend surrounding St. Servatius tells of how the saint’s body repeatedly disappeared from the Basilica’s crypt, only to appear elsewhere to perform a miracle. Graindelavoix sees parallels between the crypt and a sound box: a hollow chamber that exudes maximum resonance. The live performance of the composition took place on 22 July 2014.
Performers: Marius Peterson (vocals), David Hernandez (vocals), Jean-Christophe Brizard (vocals), Margarida Garcia (electric bass), Manuel Mota (electric guitar), Alex Fostier (sound), Björn Schmelzer (vocals and artistic director).
Amsterdam-based artist Hrafnhildur Helgadóttir intervened during Marres Movements with a new, site-specific iteration of her artwork Improvisation For Painting (2013), first shown at Alpineum Produzenten gallery in Lucerne, Switzerland and at The Living Art Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland.
In various rooms of the exhibition The Painted Bird, Helgadóttir’s sculptural display structures served as framing devices to isolate visual elements of Marres’ painted interior, inciting three musicians to intuitively translate those fragments through live improvisation on electric guitar, electric bass and saxophone.
Inspired by the Slow Research theme ‘Not-Knowing,’ the afternoon and evening happenings were pure improvisation: real-time encounters that invite emotional engagement and openness to the present moment as the music adds a new, fluid layer to the already-rich environment of the exhibition.
Improvisation for painting was performed by Hrafnhildur Helgadóttir, Bergur Thomas Andersen, Tumi Árnason and Indridi Ingólfsson.
Hrafnhildur Helgadóttir (IS, 1987) is an independent visual artist and one of the founding members of the London and Amsterdam-based collective HARD-CORE. A central element of Helgadóttir’s artistic practice is her exploration of the ‘display’. She often works with musicians, incorporating live performance into her artworks. Helgadóttir brings to The Painted Bird her own personal reflection on European identity from the perspective of a peripheral nation with a long history of its own, and a sometimes-complicated relationship with the European project.
Helgadóttir’s work is kindly supported by the European Pavilion. The performance was curated by Carolyn F. Strauss of Slow Research Lab , Amsterdam
Composer and musician Christopher Tignor created for the performance series Marres Movements a walking tour. The tour began in the centre of The Painted Bird exhibition at Marres and gradually moved out of the building and into the streets, returning to the institution at the end of the experience.
The Listening Walk led participants along a carefully orchestrated route, transitioning through different physical environments as they took in the emotive and thematic contours of the music through personal headphones. Based on the Slow Research theme ‘Intimacy,’ the experience transforms the normally solitary act of headphone-listening into a social and performative act that unfolds both physically and perceptually through a rich mix of introspection and active engagement.
A classically trained violinist since age 3, who has playing rock and roll since adolescence, Christopher Tignor (US, 1976) studied creative writing at Bard College, has an MS in computer science from NYU, and a PhD in music composition from Princeton.
This performance was curated by Carolyn F. Strauss of Slow Research Lab, Amsterdam
Can our bodies be invisible and present at the same time? How can we disconnect from the space we are in and at the same time give the impression that we belong? While visitors experience The Painted Bird, a dancer enters the exhibition space with the simple task of experiencing the space as entirely new and going through the motions of what in dance is called ‘training and transcending the body’: slow-motion bodies, projecting bodies, infinite bodies, traveling bodies, timeless bodies, visible and invisible bodies, transforming bodies, adapting bodies, transcending bodies.
Dario Tortorelli (IT, 1977) approaches dance through a process of visualization and the incorporation of images. He was trained as a classical and contemporary dancer at the Brenda Hamlyn School in Florence (IT) and the Centre de Danse Rosella Hightower in Cannes (FR). He was a member of the Ballet of the Opera of Nice and Introdans (Arnhem). As a dancer, choreographer and coach he has worked with Conny Janssen Danst (Rotterdam), Ann Van den Broek (Antwerp) and The Dutch Dance Days (Maastricht), among others. Together with Fred Bax he created the DIVEinD foundation to further his research as a choreographer and maker. In Dario’s work the body takes up a central role as a concrete entity that possesses physical and intuitive knowledge, and as a philosophical concept, an entity of transformation, which he explores through his alter ego character Romeo Heart.
Brooklyn-based composer, musician and software engineer Christopher Tignor performs his solo album Along A Vanishing Plane, featuring original compositions for violin, percussion, tuning forks, and software instruments.
“This music is first and foremost about what can be done together, live in a room, to both transcend and reclaim ourselves from the noise of public living. These songs offer wordless hymns and pulsing harmonic frameworks one might use to focus their own contemporary values. I wanted time back in electronic music. I also wanted the body back; our rituals begin with the physical. All sounds originate from me kicking a drum, playing the violin, or various natural percussion sources. I built software that lets me do all this. There’s so much space in this music, it’s just essential – listening to a phrase decay in the room before proceeding.”
-Tignor about the album
A classically trained violinist since age 3, who has playing rock and roll since adolescence, Christopher Tignor (US, 1976) studied creative writing at Bard College, has an MS in computer science from NYU, and a PhD in music composition from Princeton. His experimental, electro-acoustic compositions and performance practice offer a stimulating confluence of European classical and American popular musical traditions.
Along A Vanishing Plane is listed on Spotify and available on iTunes.
D NO BODY is a series of dance performances and installations that explore the meaning of identity. The series plays with the boundaries between body and icon, and explores the ways in which our self-images are contained and reflected in and by others. Part 5 of this series reflects on new ways of representing the abstraction of our bodies into self-images. Through his alter ego Romeo Heart Tortorelli lets us imagine how we might feel the things we see, evoking sensory experiences beyond the visual. The piece is created in collaboration with visual artists Nikki Hock and Annika Kappner.
The Dutch premiere of D NO BODY 5 will take place in October 2017 during the Dutch Dance Days Festival in Maastricht.

Future Petroleum by Annika Kappner is an installation performance adapted for Marres Movements to create a multi-sensorial tableau vivant that envelops the viewers. The work explored the layering of perception and the consumption of experiences offered by the fashion and entertainment industries, the corporate world and the art world. It wonders what form of energy source the vast stream of images that are created and consumed on a daily basis will eventually yield.
Future Petroleum was performed by Fina Anjou (SE), Nicola Baratto (IT), Karolien Buurman (NL), Arie de Fijter (BE), Aurélien Lepetit (FR).
Annika Kappner (DE, 1980) crafts multi-sensory experiences in the extended field of painting, by reverting principles of virtual and digital realities into the analogue realm to create glitches in perception. Prompted by her experience as an investment banker, her work targets the evolution of consciousness in relation to mental patterns and the underlying forces that shape their systemic counterparts in nature, visual arts, technology and science. She is a co-founder of the cross-modal artist collective Elephants & Volcanoes.
Future Petroleum was made possible with the support of the AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts). The performance is part of Fashion Makes Sense, the 9th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival in Maastricht (June 29 – July 2).

Man is a political animal. Whether calculated or unintentional, explicit or implicit, there is an embedded political dimension to everything we do. My Practice, My Politics will explore how art, too, is inherently political.
Through this assignment, I would like to investigate the ways in which the personal and the political intersect; how these realms come together in art, in an art practice and in the context in which art is encountered.
Within this, several dichotomies will be challenged: rational vs. emotional, subjective vs. objective, private vs. public, selfish vs. altruistic. In other words, the project will seek emerging manifestations, interfaces and exchanges between the “me” and the “others”.
My Practice, My Politics will seek to portray the way in which artists operate and position themselves on what is ultimately a political stage – the channels they use, the language and tools they employ, the aesthetics they manifest, and the audience they engage. Of particular interest is the role of subjectivity in telling political stories, the relationship between aesthetics and politics, and the real-world need for imagined alternatives.
The exhibition will seek not only to reflect upon the art scene of the immediate present, but also on the current state of political affairs. I hope that by looking at what artists are doing, we can gain insight into what is happening in politics today (and what may happen in the near future).
Simultaneously, the project will explore ways in which a curatorial practice and political expression can overlap. The intention is not to make any political statement in particular, but rather to study the ways in which political statements are being made, and to reflect upon which political statements and methods are relevant today.
This proposed direction is a starting point, which inevitably will be modified and perhaps even changed entirely. It is a hypothesis. By striving for an explicit argument (a visual or spatial essay perhaps), Marres Currents #3 will not only present emerging talents, but also will contribute to current discussions on the role of the artist in the political sphere. The presentation will formulate a position that can be discussed and deepened.

Karen Zimmermann (1986, Germany) obtained her master’s degree at the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne in 2020. Throughout her work, art forms including installation, video, and performance continuously influence each other. During Currents #8 Karen shows the multi-channel video installation The Mother With One Arm which simultaneously shows these cross-pollinations in action.

After obtaining his bachelor’s degree in Literature at the University of Amsterdam, Daniel Vorthuys (1990, The Netherlands) chose the relatively new master’s programme Theatre Practices at ArtEZ in Arnhem. Currents #8 displays his graduation film MALFUCTION in which he investigates different forms of the concepts of ‘failure’ and ‘disturbance’ – the opposite of ‘functioning’.

Marios Pavlou (1989, Cyprus) studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and graduated from the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne. His artwork shown during Currents #8, Last night I dreamt that water loved me, is a hybrid environment with strong visual and tactile impulses. By illuminating life-sized digital prints Marios creates an intimate setting. As if the artist would take you by the hand and join you for a walk into the sea in the middle of the night.

Throughout the various rooms of Marres parts of Hilde Onis’ (1994, The Netherlands) installation The neighbours fence is not made out of biscuits either can be found. In her work, various systems of language, recognizable objects, and physical metaphors play a refined game for one’s attention. The various works find themselves in-between installation, sculpture, and drawing. Hilde graduated at ArtEZ and successfully finished her master Fine Arts at KASK in Ghent.
