COLLECTION XXIV - M HKA ANTWERP

In recent years the M HKA has been working hard on the cohesion of its collection. The museum now makes intensive use of the collection, sending its works out to cultural centres and libraries all over Flanders this summer, as well as major displays of works from the collection in Charleroi, Havana and Singapore this autumn. The collection has been inventorised and has been given a global perspective. This is clearly apparent from some recent acquisitions, including works by such Indian artists as Boran Hansda, as well as Belgian artists past and present, and the entire USEFUL LIFE exhibition, which gave Europalia’s focus on China permanent roots in the Flemish art heritage.  This year, the upper rooms of LONELY AT THE TOP have also been drawn into these collection activities, with a series of presentations of artistic approaches from Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Artists: James Lee Byars, Leo Copers, Hans Eijkelboom, Pieter Engels, Jan Fabre, Jef Geys, Vincent Geyskens, Boran Hansda, Job Koelewijn, George Lilanga, Guy Mees, C.K. Rajan, Walter Swennen, Wilfried Vandenhove.
