JAMES LEE BYARS ENSEMBLE

Ensemble

The international renowned American artist James Lee Byars has a remarkable relationship with the M HKA.

From the seventies onward he worked closely together with former director Flor Bex on numerous exhibitions and projects, the works we have in our collection are witnesses of this. Byars is also the artist behind the smallest and the biggest work in the museum.

The three objects below will guide you through the exhibitions, performances and projects that James Lee Byars undertook during his periods of stay in Antwerp.

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.
