Out of Storage
De Timmerfabriek, Maastricht, NL 25 June 2011 / 25 March 2012
Out of Storage is developed by Marres Projects in association with FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais and is described by Hilde Teerlinck (Director FRAC) and Guus Beumer (Director Marres) as “a miraculous marriage between chance, significance and partnership”. Alongside an exhibition that presents a large number of works from the collection of FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, Out of Storage consists of a program of events entitled Provisoire & Définitif – a reference to a work by Maurizio Nannucci that is presented in the exhibition. This program consists of educational projects, research, publications, workshops, debates, lectures and performances, which reflect on several models for a museum. The project also includes various partnerships, amongst others with Maastricht University and H+F Collection. From the H+F Collection works of Gerald Van der Kaap, Masato Nakamura, Elina Brotherus and Adel Abdessemed are exhibited.

ArtAids

The ArtAids foundation was set up in 2006 at Han Nefkens’ initiative. ArtAids fights AIDS, with the substantial and monetary power of art as its most important weapon. ArtAids invites leading artists to produce work that is inspired by AIDS and related problems. These works of art are used not only to raise the public’s consciousness and to encourage their involvement but also to generate funds to support projects throughout the world aimed at preventing and fighting AIDS.
