invitation
 

To meet the desire for an international spread of culture, cultural houses have been built abroad. Perhaps the realm would like to consider a noble cultural embassy. One that can go anywhere.

 

Two ways are open: a culture-ship can be built for the air, and a seagoing ship for long circumnavigations. Culture mobiles with all means of artistic production, a meeting space for domestic and foreign artists, scientists, journalists...

A collection point is needed on shore where the precipitation is stored and distributed.

In the future, a fleet can be developed for our most important export product: art.

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.
