Craigie Horsfield

° 1949

Lives in West Flanders (BE), born in Cambridge (GB), lives in London (GB).

With social projects and with work in different media including video, photography, sound, drawings, performance and installation, Craigie Horsfield rethinks prevailing attitudes regarding society and the individual. Horsfield uses the notion of 'slow time' to denote his vision of history as something not out of the past (i.e. standing apart from our experiences), but rather as the deepening of the present. For Horsfield the word 'relationship' in the first place means that 'being' is created between individuals, and secondly that 'being' lies contained in each meeting, each encounter, each conversation.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
