Flanders Architecture Institute
Marie-José Van Hee architecten. A Walk
In 1993, as a young architect, Marie-José Van Hee exhibited her work at DE SINGEL. At that point, it was already clear that she would have a lasting influence on the architectural landscape in Belgium and far beyond. Almost thirty years later, the Flanders Architecture Institute is again inviting this grande dame of the Belgian architecture scene to stage an exhibition. In Marie-José Van Hee architecten. A walk not only are you introduced to her work, but you also walk through that of other architects, artists and thinkers. Marie-José Van Hee: “As an architect you cannot be an ego tripper. The whole point is that you are working with and for people.”
Artists: Jan Baes, Stéphane Beel, Hélène Binet, Dirk Braeckman, etc.
Curator: Marie-José Van Hee architecten
Opening hours during Art Antwerp: Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun (14:00-22:00).

Michel Seuphor. The poetry of the abstract
Michel Seuphor was a poet to the core, even when he was drawing. His abstract lacunary drawings with horizontal lines lead the eyes to the unlimited universe of the mind. In the prints room, the drawings stand out beautifully against the steel blue walls. The spaces between the lines and the blank shapes and words seem to emit light. These drawings are vibrant. Gradually, Seuphor’s interplay of lines hypnotises you. Let yourself be transported on a journey to new territories in which the mind can rest and wander, but can also be stirred. That is the power of abstract art.
Artist: Michel Seuphor
Curator: Adriaan Gonnissen

MIRROR MIRROR – Fashion & the Psyche
MIRROR MIRROR – Fashion & the Psyche highlights the connection between fashion, psychology, self-image and identity, focussing on the personal experience of the body. Through visual arts and avant-garde fashion, this leads to such themes as body dysmorphia and the history of human replicas, including both dolls and mannequins, as well as cyborgs and avatars.
Artists: MoMu presents the work of artists such as Ed Atkins, Genesis Belanger, Hans Bellmer, Genieve Figgis, Mike Kelley, Sarah Lucas, Paul McCarthy, Melik Ohanian, Tschabalala Self, Cindy Sherman and Yasuyuki Ueno, in dialogue with creations by designers such as Balenciaga, Hussein Chalayan, Comme des Garçons, Molly Goddard, Kenneth Ize, Loewe, Issey Miyake, Noir Kei Ninomiya, Prada, Simone Rocha and Walter Van Beirendonck.
