The exhibition The Geopolitics of Infrastructure brings together a generation of artists who consider the political commitments, imagination and power relations of infrastructure. It presents research-based practices reflecting on how such structures function as organisational systems across boundaries as part of the practice of statecraft. With an awareness that geopolitics also shapes the conditions of practice for artists, The Geopolitics of Infrastructure also considers the possibilities of artistic imagination in conceptualising alternative models for infrastructure.

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.
