Collaborations are important to Jef Verheyen.

In 1962 he cements his friendship with Lucio

Fontana with this work. Verheyen paints the blue

background and Fontana adds the perforations as

a performance. This collaboration embodies their

shared views on the activation of space. ‘Fontana’s

spatialism drilled through the dimensions. His fifth

dimension broke the boundaries, he opened up

the path to infinity,’ writes Verheyen. The title of

this work is a reference to the endless Möbius strip.

This looped strip symbolises the harmony between

two artistic approaches and their shared dream of

infinite freedom.

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.
