La République Géniale (which might be rendered as The Republic of Genius) starts from the insight that everyone has genius of a particular kind. This is Filliou’s way of ‘de-hiearchising’ a core feature of Western culture. He called himself ‘a genius without talent’. Each Republic of Genius has its own territory, which can be mobile.

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.
