Conceptual art, exhibition design and curating
Marieke van Diemen examines, from many different angles, how display of artifacts affect the perception. Thus Van Diemen established an unique view on conceptual art and exhibition design.
Centraal Museum Utrecht, museum Boijmans van Beuningen and the Dutch House of Parliament follow the concepts and designs by Marieke van Diemen for the display of their art collections.
The MAZE at museum Boijmans van Beuningen
For museum Boijmans van Beuningen Van Diemen currently works on a huge display design at the Atrium, the heart of the new Depot building: the MAZE.
About Perception
Every ordinary object surrounding us is designed to influence our perception. It has been considered and reconsidered in order to communicate whatever idea. This fascinates Marieke van Diemen.
She explores the effects on ‘the eye’ whilst confronted with the ordinary and casualness, the bottom-line of her investigation.
This crystallizes particularly in museums where her work quietly intervenes with the general conventions of exposing.
To expose: not only as in displaying, also as in to explain or state, introduce and reveal.
