Programme

M HKA presents a new site-specific installation and performance by Belgian multidisciplinary artist Stef Van Looveren as part of the IN SITU programme.

Designer Jelle Jespers examines graphic design and print as artistic practices in Argentina between 1940 and 1976. In this period, print culture became a vital space for ideas. Designers, artists and thinkers used printed matter to experiment with form, language, politics and society.

Carla Arocha and Stéphane Schraenen have worked together as an artist duo for over twenty years. Across sculpture, painting, photography and installation, they investigate how space, reflection and perception shape the act of looking. Their work calls for a critical way of looking.

This INBOX presentation brings together video works and a publication centred on birth, care and community. Three Spain-born artists based in Belgium enter into dialogue with a work from the M HKA collection.

The M HKA collection is always evolving, and we live in times of change. In 2025, M HKA will present a renewed and concise collection display featuring around thirty outstanding works by Flemish artists, including those who live and work (or have lived and worked) here.

For the eleventh year in a row, Antwerp Hospital School and M HKA are joining forces. Showing Off 11 is a story about the wonder, experimentation, action and creativity that arise when children and young people are exposed to contemporary art.

Preview on thu 27.11 | Suske and Wiske have been capturing the collective imagination for 80 years. Generations of readers and viewers grew up with their adventures, absorbing a wide range of images, atmospheres, emotions, and expressions. Just as their creator, Willy Vandersteen, drew inspiration from visual artists, many generations of visual artists have in turn been consciously or unconsciously shaped by Vandersteen’s visual and verbal universe.

This autumn, Muhka presents the first survey exhibition of Pauline Curnier Jardin. Twenty years of films, drawings, sculptures and installations come together in an exuberant scenography with space for live events. A festive plunge into her hybrid world of cinema, performance, and layered storytelling.

The exhibition There Is Nothing Solid About Solidarity in INBOX shows how communities find new forms of connection outside established structures. The artworks make tangible how solidarity and empathy endure under pressure, and invite reflection and dialogue.

Following the trans-national format of the 2023 edition, the Kyiv Biennial 2025 will again take place in multiple locations across Europe. Muhka presents a stand-alone exhibition that acts also as an extension of the main biennial exhibition held at the newly-opened Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (MSN).
