Exhibitions

In High Capacity, artist Kasper Andreasen brought together two hundred collages made from printed matter collected between 1998 and 2003. The exhibition highlighted both the material and poetic qualities of the medium, while exploring the tension between abundance and ephemerality in the world of print.

In this exhibition, photographer Kristien Daem portrayed ten female artists based in Brussels through portraits. Their work was shown alongside the portraits, highlighting the richness and diversity of their artistic practices.

The summer of 2023, Muhka transformed into a playground for young and old. Let's Play Museum let children experience art through interactive installations by artists including Kati Heck, Job Koelewijn, and Benjamin Verdonck. A playful exhibition for everyone who feels young.

In this expo, Askhat Akhmedyarov brought together art and activism in a powerful reflection on Kazakhstan. Through installations, performances and photography, he addressed ecological and social tensions rooted in both Soviet legacies and present-day developments. His work intertwined ritual, memory and critical irony, offering a layered view of local realities within a global context.

Muhka looked back on the radical artists’ collective Mass Moving (1968–1976) and its successor Mass and Individual Moving (1976–1985), which combined art, ecology, technology and activism. Through performances, installations and public actions, the group confronted society with sun, wind and imagination. Their committed practice remains strikingly relevant today.

Muhka paid tribute to Marcel van Maele, a rebellious poet, performer and artist who viewed art as a means of transforming consciousness. The presentation featured idiosyncratic assemblages, bottled poems and hermetic objects from the period 1972–2002, prompted by a generous donation from collector Jef Debacker.

In his first solo museum exhibition, Ignace Cami breathed new life into forgotten forms of heritage. With 'RE:ANKER', he explored how archaic and hyperlocal elements can regain meaning today. Installations, performances, and participatory actions – from freshly baked speculaas to a polyphonic choir – made heritage into something playful and alive.

For INBOX Belgian artist Tom Hallet presented a new installation consisting of a series of fourteen drawings and a sculpture, in which two primordial gods battle it off against each other, or... together.

SHOW UP in M HKA presented 22 selected artworks from the inauguration edition of the Onboards Biennale: Show Up/Show-off. The Biennale took place during the summer of '21, showing the works of 200 contemporary international artists.

Iteration I: Everything Is Everythang was an early sketch of a film in the making. Its first rendition, an intentionally opaque collage of sights and sounds recorded in March 2023, revolves around the artist’s family and friends in South Central Los Angeles.

In the research project 'Call Me By Your Meme vol. 1', Nathan Gotlib and 24 (inter)national artists explored how creativity and authorship relate to an age of endless digital references. Three well-known internet memes served as the starting point for a critical and playful reinterpretation, blurring the lines between original and copy.

The exhibition 'She Has Many Names' by Spanish artist Dora García surveyed some of the most important performances, drawings, installations, printed matter and films created throughout a career spanning three decades.
