Guy Mees — Video and Movies — The Collection — A Suggestion
02 March 2002 - 12 May 2002

MUHKA, Antwerpen

The work of Guy Mees (°1935, Mechelen) is positioned between the poles of painting, sculpture and installation. At the end of the Sixties and the beginning of the Seventies, the artist also experimented with film and video, in which a number of principles from his other work were pursued. (programme Bart De Baere)

Examples are the use of seriality, standardisation, classification and variation. This presentation shows the audio-visual work which the M HKA acquired; in the autumn there will be a wider-based exhibition, which will be interwoven with a collection presentation.

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.
