Marres initiates exhibitions, lectures, research, publications and projects, rooted in a cultural, philosophical background and a specific interest in the problem of actuality. The relation with the immediate local environment is often employed as a means to refine a more universal agenda in order to produce innovative exhibition models.

Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem, Arnhem
Posted by: Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem
The MMKA strives to be a museum recognised for quality and experimentation. Each year the museum develops a recognisable substantive programme with a clear rhythm. The organisation of exhibitions is primarily focused on ‘forms of realism’ and ‘art from Arnhem’.
The MMKA also regularly displays objects or temporary exhibitions of decorative arts and visual art from before 1900. In addition, the museum is interested in acting as a platform for recent and current art and design from Arnhem, and in organising exhibitions of international visual art that fit its profile.
