GRAFIEK [PRINTS]

Ensemble

At first sight, Els Dietvorst’s work is of a breathtaking diversity. It ranges from installations and clay sculptures to drawings in red ink, theatre monologues, and other texts; from woodcuts and graphs in metal frames to magazines and artist books; from audio works, 16mm film, documentaries and various types of video pieces to tattoos and community building. This is what Joseph Beuys would describe as ‘sociale Plastik’ and what cultural policy makers in Flanders in recent years labelled ‘socio-artistic work’. (Bart De Baere) 

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.
