Activities

Marc Holthof, formerly Hugo Roelandt’s assistant, and Joanna Zielińska, curator and performance expert at M HKA, discuss the challenges of archiving ephemeral art.

View Hugo Roelandt’s artistic practice through a different pair of eyes: Roger D’Hondt, the founder of the art space New Reform in Aalst and a per formance art curator, shares his experience of working with Hugo Roelandt for many years, the Performance Art Festival in Brussels and his participation with Roelandt in Documenta 6 in Kassel.

Family Tour of the Panamarenko House. Join a guided tour and explore the magical place where Panamarenko created floating cars, flying backpacks, pedal-powered helicopters, airships you could live in, submarines, and flying saucers.

In 2025, we celebrate the Belgian visionary artist and dream engineer Panamarenko (1940–2019), who uniquely merged art and science. Panamarenko85, an initiative of the Panamarenko Foundation, honors this pioneer, innovator, and inspirer with a series of exhibitions, activities, and a new publication.

On Saturday 8 June, M HKA kicks off its summer programme with 'The Lives of Animals', a group exhibition that challenges you to look at your relationship with animals in a different way.

Discover the magical universe of Panamarenko. The Panamarenko House offers an unmissable journey featuring flying backpacks, walking chickens, and a real helicopter platform on the roof.

On the last Thursday of every month, M HKA is open until 9 p.m. During these evenings, you’re welcome to explore the current exhibitions, along with a special programme of activities.
