Palletical / W-O-L-K-E , Brussels

Giorgos Kontis, a former student of our program, is participating in the following exhibition.

18 Dec –  21 Dec 2013
W-O-L-K-E :  Vaartstraat 45 rue du Canal, 1000 Brussels, Belgium

The exhibition is built around the simple concept of storage. More precisely every participant will receive a pallet on/with which to work, also there will be a pallet-lifter to arrange and rearrange the pallets within the space.
The idea is to have a mobile exhibition where different compositions can be made during the course of the exhibition, by the participants and their visitors.

Participants:
Florence Aigner & Luca Moltmann, Carine Altermatt, David Bergé, Mathie Claeys & Annabelle Demey, Bridget Currie, Franziz Denyz, David De Buyser, Korneel Devillé, Britt Hatzius, Salome Schmuki & Theo Cowley, Giorgos Kontis, Gwendolyn Lootens, Ludovic Ledent, Hana Miletic, Koen Moerenhout, Clare Noonan, Berno Odo Polzer, Céline Prestavoine, Walt Van Beek, Sara van der Zande, Floris Verbeeck, Jan Verbruggen, Susanne Weck/Répondeur Automatik

Muhkademie

What happens when the messy Academy invades the pure white rooms of the M HKA museum of contemporary art? When the cradle and the Valhalla of art come face to face? A temporary no-man’s-land comes into existence, that’s what, offering us an
opportunity to raise questions about both institutions. The artist Nico Dockx and the art historian Johan Pas have invited a range of artists and artlovers, lecturers and students, thinkers and doers to consider the roles of both the Academy and the museum in a changed, post-institutional art world.

To that end, the three exhibition rooms on the top floor of the M HKA become a temporary branch of the Academy. The three spaces take on the functions of archive, assembly hall, and project space and are linked with each other by a flexible, transparent, site-specific structure by the visionary architect Yona Friedman (born in 1923). This structure provides a setting for conversations, classes, workshops, discussions, and presentations over a period of three months.

MUHKADEMIE is a temporary laboratory in which the boundaries between artistic practice, education, and research can be explored. Alumna Ina Leys invited alumni of the Academy to present new works (MUHKALUMNI), while a variety of works of art and documents from the M HKA’s collection are introduced as ‘sparring partners’. During the day, visitors to the museum can observe projects, seminars, and workshops; every Thursday evening there will be public conversations with artists about the interfaces between the museum and the Academy, art and education, practice and reflection.

MUHKADEMIE includes documents, works, interventions, and/ or contributions by, a.o., James Lee Byars, Marcel Broodthaers, Jacques Charlier, Jean-Baptiste Decavèle, Luc Deleu & TOP-office, Extra-Academy, Robert Filliou, Yona Friedman, Jef Geys, Ina Leys, Gustav Metzger, Louise Osieka, Panamarenko, Michelangelo Pistoletto & Cittadellarte, and students and staff of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. The activities are being documented and some will appear, along with other contributions, in book form early in 2014 under the title Pro-Positions. Art and/as Education 2013–1963 (published by Mer, Ghent).
