Deeply rooted in both conceptual and socially engaged art, his practice interwove critical texts and documentary photography into complex structures of meaning. Taking the form of sequential narratives, his work consistently addressed the economic and social consequences of neoliberal ideology and globalisation. During his career, Sekula repeatedly returned to the theme of maritime space, paying particular attention to the issue of working conditions at sea. Having grown up in a port city in the harbour area of Los Angeles, the artist felt a special connection with Antwerp. He was fascinated by local stories of the town of Doel and the Internationaal Zeemanshuis, and these are reflected in some of his projects, including his film \u003cem\u003eThe Forgotten Space\u003c/em\u003e.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nIn 2010, M HKA organised his solo exhibition\u003cem\u003e Ship of Fools\u003c/em\u003e, conceived in dialogue with the artist\u0026rsquo;s subsequent invitation to participate in the S\u0026atilde;o Paulo Biennial in Brazil. M HKA also curates the artist\u0026rsquo;s unique collection of artefacts: \u003cem\u003eThe Docker\u0026rsquo;s Museum\u003c/em\u003e, an extensive project that critically rethinks the idea of collecting. Through the stories of minor objects and the idea of motion (the movement of mass over a distance), he connects miners and dockers, nuclear plants and ports in a narrative that reflects on the functioning of the economy and our human world at large.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","name":"Museum in beweging - Allan Sekula","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllan Sekula\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nAllan Sekula (1951 \u0026ndash;\u0026nbsp;2013) was een beeldend kunstenaar, filmmaker, schrijver en activist.

Zijn werk, vaak opgebouwd als opeenvolgende verhaallijnen, behandelt consequent de economische en sociale gevolgen van de neoliberale ideologie en de globalisering. Tijdens zijn carri\u0026egrave;re greep Sekula herhaaldelijk terug naar het thema van de maritieme ruimte, waarbij hij bijzondere aandacht besteedde aan de kwestie van de arbeidsomstandigheden op zee. De kunstenaar, opgegroeid in het havengebied van Los Angeles, voelde een speciale verbondenheid met Antwerpen. Hij was begaan met de lokale verhalen van het dorp Doel en het Internationaal Zeemanshuis wat tot uiting kwam in enkele projecten, waaronder zijn film \u003cem\u003eThe Forgotten Space\u003c/em\u003e.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nIn 2010 organiseerde het M HKA zijn solotentoonstelling \u003cem\u003eShip of Fools\u003c/em\u003e, die werd geconcipieerd in dialoog met de Bi\u0026euml;nnale van S\u0026atilde;o Paulo in Brazili\u0026euml;, waar de kunstenaar uitgenodigd was om deel te nemen.

Door de verhalen van kleine voorwerpen en het idee van beweging (verplaatsing van massa\u0026rsquo;s over afstanden) worden mijnwerkers en dokwerkers, kerncentrales en havens met elkaar verbonden in een verhaal dat reflecteert over de werking van de economie en onze menselijke wereld in het algemeen.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","name":"Musée en mouvement - Allan Sekula","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllan Sekula\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAllan Sekula (1951\u0026minus; 2013) \u0026eacute;tait plasticien, cin\u0026eacute;aste, \u0026eacute;crivain et activiste.
