In 1975, Marinus Boezem occupied the former Grain Exchange in Middelburg and transformed it into an international art institution. He named himself director of this Podio del Mondo per l’Arte. Since then, he invites Dutch and foreign artists every now and then to design a stone with a text or image for his museum. In the original idea for the Porsche Academie, the professors would give their inaugural speech at the Podio del Mondo per l’Arte.
Marinus Boezem has invited Hans van Houwelingen, one of the professors of the Porsche Academie, to make a proposal for a new stone. This stone will be laid on the 25th of September, after the release of the two publications.
