Performance, Video and Self-Portraits

Ensemble

"In general, there’s not much place for performance now. It looks like the sixties too much, it feels like the sixties did, it feels like it’s something from the past. I’m not sure why that is, except... Maybe the same applies to theater. (...) It looks too old, it looks like the past. I do performances in front of a camera quite often, and I perform to the camera, making videos—[Maria Thereza](http://ensembles.mhka.be/actors/maria-thereza-alves) and I work together on videos. I think of it as performance, but it doesn’t work for a live audience, it’s just for the television, or what I think of as “television.” And that doesn’t look like the past to me."

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.
