Become Friend of the Limburg Biennale

Marres is looking for 50 new Friends of the Limburg Biennale - 13 new friends already welcomed!

UNIQUE PRINT DERK THIJS FOR NEW FRIENDS+ AND AMBASSADORS

The artist Derk Thijs made a unique collage especially for the Limburg Biennale. You receive this unique gift when you become Friend+ of Marres for three years (for 75 euros per year) or Ambassador of Marres (200 euros). The print is also for sale for the temporary low price of 275 euros. It is an edition of 50. The offer is only valid during the Limburg Biennale, so be quick!

Derk Thijs wrote this about the print:

“Since a few years I have been active at Extinction Rebellion, to pay attention to the climate catastrophe and adjust my life accordingly. It gives me hope to see the way the members of this group work and take action together towards a sustainable community. This experience also provided inspiration for a new visual language. Following a series of paintings that were very contemplative, in which painterly things as light and suggestion of space played an important part, I started working with a more graphic and symbolical language, in which the shapes appear as signs. The result was a series of works on paper with beans as the protagonists. Its source is a pre-Columbian tapestry that shows beans as warriors. This made me see the beans as change-makers whose sprouts engender new life and new possibilities. The current collage is a continuation of this bean-series.”
