Media: TheEternalNetwork_2


How did the Eternal Network come into being? Robert Filliou and George Brecht close their artist space La Cedille qui Sourit, located in Villefranche, France in 1968. They go "bankrupt." They announce the post avant-garde formation of the ongoing international network of artists. Filliou made Telepathic Music No.2, 1973 in the same year as the first celebration of Art's Birthday in Aachen, 1973. This video clip is taken from PORTA FILLIOU (1977), the videotape produced by Filliou, Clive Robertson and Marcella Bienvenue for ARTONS VIDEO, Calgary, Canada. 

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.
