Rumour Has It is the second episode of the annual exhibition series titled Marres Currents. With this series, Marres presents recent graduates from art academies in the Southern Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. While offering emerging artists and curators a platform, Marres also aims to build an international infrastructure for talent development.
Curated by Hélène Webers and Mels Evers, Rumour Has It presents work of a new generation of talented young artists. The exhibition is devoted to a range of artistic practices, in which artists search for new forms, expressions, narratives and truth. In an exhibition full of stories, shapes, colours, and movement, the artists reach out to meet an audience that is also searching for new ways to grasp the world.
