"In Stockholm I started doing some things that didn’t quite work out, but they almost worked. Some did. They are called lithographs. I do it in different ways. For example, if I want to do a lithograph using red ink I put a tube of red ink on a piece of paper and drop a stone on it. If you drop a heavy stone on a pencil, the entire pencil is shown on your piece of paper. Other times I put paint or graphite directly on the stone and then throw the stone at paper or cloth or wood or something. They’re all lithographs, which is a term I have invented. It means making a graph using a stone." [full text here]

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.
