Documenting MARCO

Beginning 2008, this proposal is based on the museum building itself as a place of memory and symbolism. By collecting testimonies of personal experiences about the past of the MARCO building before the rehabilitation process and its new use as Contemporary Art Center, we gather the 'living memory' of the building. Written testimonies, but also voice or video recordings help us encourage interested persons to provide documentation such as photographs, letters, etc. which may be of interest as an image or description of the past. The gathered material is then digitized and stored in the Library-Documentation Center.
