Was it marketing, mystification or misogyny that caused the rise of the artwork Fountain? This film is an alternative whodunnit, in which everyone – artists, art historians and ultimately the director herself – turns out to be a puppet in the powerplay of the art market. After the screening, director Barbara Visser will be present for a Q&A session, organised in collaboration with MERIAN, the Maastricht Experimental Research in and through the Arts Network. MERIAN is a platform to foster collaboration between artists and academic researchers established by Maastricht University, University College Maastricht, the Jan van Eyck Academy and Zuyd University of Applied Sciences /the research centre ‘What Art Knows’.
