Where are the boundaries between humans, nature and technology?
We explore how artists respond to biological and technological developments. What questions do these raise about our bodies and our future?
The session on Sunday 7 March 2027 is subject to confirmation. Details of the guest will follow. Stay up to date with our newsletter.
What is FOCUS?
One Sunday a month, we take a closer look at a theme in the work of Lee Bul. FOCUS takes place at Muhka during the exhibition Lee Bul: From 1998 to Now. Each guest brings a different perspective on her work through a performance, conversation or talk, drawing on their own practice. You then join a guide in the exhibition to look more closely at selected works.
About the theme
In Lee Bul’s work, technology reflects our fascination with progress. Her sculptures often refer to futuristic thinking that sees technology as a way to improve the world and extend the body’s capabilities. But how dependent do we become on the technology we develop? And what if progress also brings new limitations?

Café and roof terrace
After your visit, you can have a drink or a bite to eat in the museum café, alongside a mural by Keith Haring. Or, in fine weather, sit out on the green roof terrace overlooking the Scheldt. While you’re there, take a moment to sit in the Skyspace by James Turrell.
A day in the Zuid
After your visit to Muhka, spend a little longer in the Zuid neighbourhood. Walk through Zuidpark, right outside the museum, or stroll along the Scheldt quays. Coming by car? You can park in the underground car park beneath Zuidpark. Our page includes a city map with more tips.
