Peter Wächtler

° 1979

Works in Brussel (BE), born in Hannover (DE).

Peter Wächtler is a storyteller. His works are characterised by dramaturgic components such as melancholy, pathos, ironic or satiric humor, romance and such. Still, Peter Wächtler’s video works, sculptures and texts do not always follow traditional rules of storylines and -structures—every so often doubts might befall the viewer on whether the works are fictitious or based on reality.

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.
