"In the video a stone attempts to answer the telephone. The telephone is on the ground, looking very similar to Joseph Beuys’s Earth Telephone. This, I’m sorry to confess, is simply one of those coincidences that so often happen. I was not commenting on Beuys’s telephone. At that time I did not know of it." [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.
