Exhibition
From Saturday the 24th September the ‘MärklinWorld’ will be on show at Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort. The exhibition shows how (city)landscape is a major source of inspiration for artists. At the same time many artists are interested in ‘the model’ (mock up) as an echo of the constructed world around us.  A center piece of the exhibition is a 60 meter long Märklin model track along which artists have built installations and sculptures. Furthermore a great many artists show how the contemporary city is represented in photography and paintings.
