MAASTRICHT.- As part of the program on the Avantgarde, Marres presents Madame Realism, a group exhibition where the interior once again takes a central place. Madame Realism presents works of exclusively female artists in the historical and domestic rooms of Marres. The presentation refers to both the private domain of the interior and the public space of an exhibition. In Madame Realism, several themes will be addressed: the female dandy, visible and invisible gender roles, the political implications of design and reflections on the interior as a form of social critique. With the exhibition À l’intérieur in 2006, Marres introduced the position of the Dandy in relation to the 19th-century desire for beauty as a new metaphysics. Stylemeister San Ming transformed the rooms of Marres into a private domain in which every form of hierarchy, for example between art and design, was dissolved in favour of an individual universe.
