Den Haag, The Netherlands + Marcello’s Art Factory/URM Project
An Urban Ready Made (URM) is a street, a building, a view, an object
or an event in an urban- or industrial environment, where a
conjunction of circumstances cause beauty and art. When an artist or
architect declares this (with some ritual proceedings) art, it becomes
an Urban Ready Made. With the Urban Ready Mades Project we would like
to bring art closer to people. Art doesn’t have to be difficult to
understand. You can find beauty everywhere and to enjoy art you don’t
have to visit a museum or an exposition. We hope our project lets
people realize that they can find art and beauty in their own city.

Marcello & Els, the founders of the project, want to give other
artists and architects a chance to declare an URM in their own
surroundings and join this unique concept. This way there will grow a
“gesammtkunstwerk” (a collective work of art) of thousands of URM’s,
which will go beyond borders. Firstly this is going to take place in
the form of a virtual exhibition on the World Wide Web, crossing
virtual borders. In the year 2010 it will become a traveling
exhibition, kicking off in The Hague.
