In 1985, Ruimte Morguen organised Het Onding Kunst, a programme series that would ultimately consist of 17 exhibitions. How dit you came up with the idea for this project? 
“After the exhibition of Wilchar, we collaborated with Paul De Vylder. He exhibited his Unsolved Media Mysteries in the space, and we kept in regular contact. We shared a fascination with images co-opted by society, particularly in the form of propaganda and advertising. At the time, I was still interested in folk art and ‘peripheral’ art, such as children’s drawings. When the idea for Het Onding Kunst arose, we wanted to link it with a magazine. This became Fase 2. Tijdschrift voor Beeldvervorming [Phase 2. Journal for Image Distortion]. The editorial team consisted of the project group members, together with, among others, Lieven de Cauter. Later, Jan Ceuleers also joined.” Marc Schepers

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.
