Exhibitions

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.

In Friendship of Nations, Slavs and Tatars revealed unexpected links between Iran and Poland, weaving craft, ideology, and history through textile banners and a lecture-performance.

In five small-scale presentations, Muhka brought the history of Antwerp’s galleries to life. Galerie Ronny Van de Velde closed the series.

This exhibition was organized on the occasion of the donation to Muhka by Bob & Hélène Coppens de Zàgon of the works Ocean Highway, a transatlantic journey of a ghost driver, and De Keuze, a simulacrum.

With 'Where Should We Begin?', Falke Pisano explored the visible and invisible labour behind public art programmes. Pisano was offered the museum as a workspace and meeting point.

‘Pharmakos’ explored the phenomenon of the scapegoat and social exclusion through adornment as a means of empowerment and resistance. Through archival research and wearable jewelry, Vivi Touloumidi revealed how stigmatizing symbols from WWII continue to resonate in contemporary social conflicts.

The exhibition 'Museum in Motion' offered a glimpse into Muhka’s future. As the museum prepares for a new building, this presentation explored how the collection can evolve alongside its growing ambitions — through 24 key artists who may shape its future framework.
