Let’s open up! Museum Night took place on 19 April 2024. Marres is one of the 14 different venues across the city that opens their doors until late at night each year.
Exhibition Opaque Spirits
During a very busy Museum Night visitors could discover the intriguing exhibition Opaque Spirits by Peruvian artist Arturo Kameya (Lima, 1984). A tiled bathhouse that functions as a restaurant, a multi-armed beer fountain, and a large upstairs room with mechanical fish: Kameya has transformed the house of Marres into a ghost hotel. Every room represents a debt owed by the state to the people of Peru. The rooms are inhabited by ghosts who have come to collect these debts.
Youth program Extended
The members of Extended presented their end project ‘The Scent of Heritage’ at the Jan van Eyck Academie.
Performance PACHAMAMA
(or: how some of you unexpectedly became a potato…)
During Museum Night visitors could see the performance of Uruguayan artist, dancer and performer Amalia Herrera and Dutch artist, performer and director Woody Richardson Laurens.
Mark your calendars for the next edition of Museum Night: 11 April 2025.
