Halensee

Ensemble

Halensee (Pope of) is a fictional figure first used by Paul Van Ostayen (Ostaijen) and appropriateb by Jef Lambrecht for the 'canonization of Vincent van Gogh' and related activities - it became a information brochure and reference to varios other works.

The name is derived from the lake (Halensee) near Belin where Van Ostayen lived in the 20's, and was at that time site of a popular Lunapark - presumably the origin of the name used by the Pope who later excommunicate Josstens from the "holy cubistic an fleministic (?) church"

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.
