Sensing Art, Training the Body - S01 / E12

Marres Special: "The Painted Bird" Soundtrack (EN)

The Painted Bird, Dreams and Nightmares of Europe (2017)

The Painted Bird

An immersive project for which all walls, corridors, stairwell, floors and ceilings of the monumental house of Marres were painted. The exhibition showed a series of beautiful and frightening environments. Like the black supermarket and the purple aquarium, a wisteria room, terrifying portraits and washed-up refugees.

Soundtrack
Artists Frank Koolen and Kim David Bots created an extensive soundtrack with personal commentary voice, music and sound effects. The soundtrack was part of the exhibition and led you from room to room, from dream to nightmare.

Witwasdag (Whitewashing Day)
On the last day of the exhibition, Marres invited the public to help paint the colossal painting The Painted Bird white. The 12 rooms were opened to lusty whitewashers, greasers, lovers of crisp white, good friends and faulty fans of Marres.
