BRANKOPOPOVICBLOG: Wild Horses & Trojan Dreams at Marres

Sanne Vaassen opening performance

Wild Horses & Trojan Dreams at Marres, House for Contemporary Culture, from 18.12.2013 - 5.1.2014

Wild Horses & Trojan Dreams is the first edition of a new, annual exhibition series titled Marres Currents. With this series, Marres presents recent graduates from art academies in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. While offering emerging artists a platform outside of the educational context, Marres Currents also aims to build an international infrastructure for art academies and institutions.

For Wild Horses & Trojan Dreams, curators Laura Herman and Pieter Vermeulen selected artists that offer new perspectives on current forms of authorship, subjectivity, knowledge and artistic research. The participating artists challenge the boundaries of artistic freedom and explore the value of art today.
