Aflevering Marres Special: Artist James Webb On 'Goodbye To Love'

In the run-up to a new exhibition at Marres, House for Contemporary Culture in Maastricht, director Valentijn Byvanck interviews participating artists, performers and curators. For the exhibition ‘Goodbye to Love’, he sits down with artist James Webb (1975, South Africa), an artist known for site-specific interventions and installations. His practice often involves sound, found objects, and text, invoking references to literature, cinema, and the minimalist traditions. Webb transforms objects, techniques, and forms by placing them in new settings, generating unique tensions. These tensions merge Webb's diverse academic influences, encompassing religion, theatre, and advertising, to explore thought-provoking questions about belief systems and communication in today's world.  James Webb (1975, South Africa) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.
