North-7

Installation
Materials: total installation, plastic theatre

Flying Bar North-7 is an artistic project at the now abandoned Seamen’s club made in the framework of the Barents Spektakel-2017 in Norway. The club once served as a meeting place for tired Russian seaman but now is the meeting place of festival guests drawn into the abyss of constant artistic arrangements. Guided by a mermaid, visitors will be bewitched by conceptual performances accompanied by multi-language field recordings and ambient smoke all of which bring back the warmth of life to this nostalgic place amongst a seascape.

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.
