The works I selected for TREASURE HOUSE at the Limburg Biënnale were based mainly on what they could form als whole. A whole in which the individual disappears. Where good and bad do not exist. Where perception does not rely on categorizing on what you see, but where you can accept what you see without judging it. Things are so much more then they appear at first sight. It’s like walking into a cave where it’s too dark to see. Look long enough, let your eyes get used to the dark, be attentive and aware in the process, and you will discover new things and find hidden gems.

Limburg Biënnale
It is with immense pride that Marres and Odapark present the third edition of the Limburg Biënnale, an exhibition that offers a cross-section of the visual arts in Limburg and its surroundings with 500 works by over 350 artists. The biennale is a true celebration of the arts in Limburg.

Open Call
Following the enormous success of the previous two editions, Marres and Odapark placed an open call for the third Limburg Biënnale in February of this year. 1,400 makers responded; together they submitted more than 3,000 works.

From February 19 to March 10, 2024, interested parties, young and old, established and unknown, from individual to collective, could register with a maximum of three existing artworks. This could be any type of work: painting, video, sculpture, audio, performance, etc. 

Jury
The jury and curatorial team, consisting of 18 professional artists, will assess the submissions without knowing the applicants’ identities. They will then arrange their chosen selection in a space at Marres or Odapark, where the artworks will be shown alongside their own. The jury includes members from both Limburg and beyond.
