For the exhibition Ping Pong, Belgian artist Philippe Van Snick brings together works from different periods in his oeuvre. The title Ping Pong refers, on the one hand, to the central work Ping Pong in the exhibition, on the other hand to the dynamics inherent in Van Snick's oeuvre.     

Grand Territorium from 2011 stands for the situation of art, an axis, an anchor in time and the affirmation of the presence of the artist, and was previously shown in  the group exhibition Dedans-Dehors at the Château de Lacaze.

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.
