Exhibitions

A presentation on working through uncertainty, between searching, holding on and the passage of time.

Muhka On the spot brings works from the Muhka collection to galleries and art spaces across Antwerp.

Carla Arocha and Stéphane Schraenen explore through sculpture, painting, photography and installation how space and perception shape our gaze.

M HKA presents a renewed collection display featuring around thirty key works by Flemish artists, past and present.

In 'You Used to Be Part of Something', Vaast Colson reunites twelve parts of a sculptural “cake” from 2005. The work plays with ideas of division, circulation, and loss. What was once a single whole now shows how art can be material, symbolic, and ephemeral at the same time.

In Chillahona (2022), Saodat Ismailova weaves personal memories with political history, taking the viewer into the perestroika years in Central Asia. The exhibition combines this three-part video installation with a contemporary interpretation of the local embroidery falak, in which motifs of the lunar cycle, animals, and a womb are brought to life through light projections.

The exhibition In/sight offered a kaleidoscopic view of the dynamic Antwerp art scene. Featuring works by established names and emerging talent from the City Collection Antwerp, the presentation celebrated the unique character of the city as a hub for contemporary art.

The M HKA presented a selection of key works by Willy De Sauter, who has explored the essence of art and perception for over fifty years. With a deep fascination for line, light, and architecture, De Sauter created a clear and consistent body of work that invites stillness and focus.

Edith Dekyndt’s work explores the vitality of matter and transience. Chronology of Tears combined video, projection, and a treated blanket, inviting a fresh perspective on our connection to the material world.

Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978) was known for his radical cuts into architecture. His “anarchitecture” challenged ideas of space, ownership and access. This exhibition focused on his influential work and the iconic Office Baroque project, which laid the groundwork for what would become Muhka.

In this poetic video and sound installation, Shen Xin explored the intertwining of ethnicity, ecology, and history. 'Brine Lake (A New Body)' offered a reflective space on statelessness, connection, and the invisible traces of shared memory.

This presentation at Muhka showcased a selection of Panamarenko’s iconic transport objects — from zeppelins to backpack helicopters, mountain bikes to cosmic crafts. His poetic machines reflected boundless imagination and an insatiable drive for adventure.
